What Millennial Lawyers Want (Aspen Select Series)

In this new book, Susan Blakely expands her audience beyond young women lawyers and law firm leaders to ALL young lawyers and those who lead them. Following the success of her three-book Best Friends at the Bar series for and about women lawyers, Ms. Blakely shifts her focus here to Millennial lawyers - those born between 1980 and 2000 - who are positioned to be the future of the law profession. Through extensive research utilizing the voices of Millennial lawyers about Millennial lawyers and entertaining and inspirational stories of lawyers from a generation past, the author makes a case that demonstrates a healthier path forward for a profession in transition - a path enriched by recapture of the values and beliefs, which successfully guided lawyers of the Greatest Generation in the post-World War Two years.

Ms. Blakely s realistic yet hopeful message is that bad practice habits, which developed over past eras and have led to toxic environments within the walls of too many law firms and legal institutions, are not beyond repair if we listen to the voices of a new generation of lawyers and help them - and us - find a better way forward.
