Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're excited to be talking with Casey Berman, founder of Leave Law Behind, about why some attorneys are unhappy and what they can do to shift to a non-legal career.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why unhappy attorneys tend to be unhappy
How leaving the law requires shifting out of the typically attorney mindset
What type of non-legal careers attorneys are particularly well suited for
How attorneys can become entrepreneurs
The typically barriers to leaving the law, and how to overcome them
