Running from the Law: It’s a Man’s World

May 1, 2013 · by rachelonandon | tagged law practice, running from the law, small firm practice, women's rights | 1 Comment

Law practice is still a boy’s club. Sure, many women make partner these days and are promoted through the ranks in in-house legal departments. But what controls are in place to ensure the retention and promotion of women at small law firms? In my experience:  NONE. I had dinner with a friend last night who […]

Running from the Law: Personal Injury Equals Personal Insult

February 26, 2013 · by rachelonandon | tagged law practice, running from the law | 1 Comment

As the old saying goes:  If broken glass falls from a Fifth Avenue window and the police are around to see it, who do you sue? This was the fact finding mission that my boss set me off on this afternoon. I know I’ve said it before, but (for context) I will say it again:  […]

Setting Quantifiable Goals

February 26, 2013 · by rachelonandon | tagged goals, law practice, motivation, running | Leave a comment

Twice this week I have had conversations about setting goals in running. The first was with El Profesor, where an exasperated me piped up:  How is it that I can apply for hundreds of jobs that I am perfectly qualified for and not get a single one of them, whereas I can wake up one […]

Running From The Law: Dinner with a Friend

December 22, 2012 · by rachelonandon | tagged law practice, running from the law | 1 Comment

Last Friday I received an email from my friend Susan – entirely out of the blue – telling me that she had just given notice to her firm and would be taking a new position as a non-practicing attorney.  She offered to submit my resume to replace her in her current position. I was flattered […]

Running From The Law: When to Give Up on the Dream

November 12, 2012 · by rachelonandon | tagged law practice, running from the law | 5 Comments

If you dream big and your dreams come true, then you’re lucky. If you have done everything right and have gotten the right result, then you’re lucky. If you work hard to make things happen and they actually happen, then you’re lucky. And you’re also not me. When I was three years old, I made […]

Running From The Law: The Results Are In

November 2, 2012 · by rachelonandon | tagged law practice, running from the law | Leave a comment

This morning, the results of the July 2012 New York State bar examination were released. I am pleased for all of the applicants that scores were released early this year. In years passed, scores typicaly came down much closer to Thanksgiving, which had the effect of turning one’s holiday season in to one of boastfulness […]

Running From The Law: Spooky

October 31, 2012 · by rachelonandon | tagged law practice, running from the law | 1 Comment
