A Message from the Author

According to employment statistics collected by the American Bar Foundation, 74% of all lawyers work in private practice. Of those lawyers working in the private sector, 83% work in firms offewer than 50 lawyers. The small firm market is the source of tremendous job-seeking opportunities for graduating law students and lawyers. While working in the Career Services Office at the University of Pittsburgh, I had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of small firm practitioners and learn about their specific hiring needs. Tapping into their expertise and the expertise of bar association executives and career services directors, who have contributed specific advise "In Their Own Words," my book is an important resource for those contemplating the small law firm market. You'll garner practical advice regarding resumes, cover letters, and interviews as well as networking tips to help you achieve your goal of finding a small firm position that's right for you.
