\"\"Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, you\u2019ve probably already heard about the <\/span>Law Jobs for Humans<\/span><\/a> – the legal careers event that I\u2019m putting on with Above the Law.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering whether you\u2019re the type of person that should come, see if any of the following resonate: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No more pie<\/b>. Just like the old joke about how the law firm career track <\/span>is like a pie eating contest<\/span><\/a>, the notion that after seven to ten years of two-thousand-billable-hour-years your reward is twenty years of two-thousand-billable-hour-years seems ludicrous to you. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The road not taken<\/b>. You were or are that law student who was constantly looking for a different path. OCI held no interest for you. Perhaps you even uttered the blasphemous words \u201cI didn\u2019t go to law school to become a lawyer.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Heads in sand<\/b>. You\u2019ve noticed that the world is being rebuilt by technology and wonder why it seems that everyone in legal either (a) is oblivious to the impact that technology might have on the legal sector, or (b) doesn\u2019t seem to care. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If any of these describes you, you are are prime candidate to join us at Law Jobs for Humans. Law Jobs for Humans is a first-of-its-kind conference designed to refine the contours of the law jobs of tomorrow. Beyond some group mentoring and other fun activities, we are centering the event around the following three elements: (1) a fast-paced runway-style conversation about how a handful of employees who are currently working in the law jobs of tomorrow found their roles, (2) a panel of employers talking about what they\u2019re looking for in candidates for the law jobs of tomorrow, and (3) a group of academics talking about how they\u2019re teaching and training the next generation of legal professionals. <\/span><\/p>\n

    If understanding and capitalizing on the employment opportunities of tomorrow\u2019s legal landscape is your bag, join us in Chicago us on April 24, 2019 for Law Jobs for Humans.<\/span><\/p>\n
