Opting Back In Program: Helping Attorneys Return to the Law
Project for Attorney Retention
Are you ready to "on ramp"? That is, are you an attorney who is ready to return to legal practice after leaving law for a year or more to care for your family? Two years ago, the University of California Hastings College of the Law's Center for WorkLife Law (WLL) launched the "Opting Back In" program to help attorneys like you. The program was so successful that WLL decided to expand it by partnering with Lawyers Life Coach LLC.
The expansion of the Opting Back In Program makes it available to attorneys throughout North America by offering it as a virtual telephone coaching group. Participants from diverse locations call into a single teleconference bridge line at a regular day and time to receive professional coaching to craft and implement their return-to-work plans.

The Project for Attorney Retention (PAR) (http://www.pardc.org/) is an initiative of The Center for WorkLife Law of the University of California Hastings College of the Law.  PAR works to stem unwanted attrition among lawyers -- a benefit for both legal employers and the lawyers themselves -- by promoting work/life balance and the retention and advancement of women in the legal profession.
