American Bar Association president and 35-year litigation veteran Laurel Bellows was interviewed recently by Chicago Grid. In the interview, Bellows talks about finding clients in unlikely places (like the women’s restroom), but she focuses on work-life balance. Her take? “Talking about work-life balance is fraud.”
You can watch the interview with Bellows on Chicago Grid. Bellows’ take on work-life balance, and re-entering the profession after time off, has created some buzz in the legal world.
What do you think? Is Bellows right? Are things different for the newest generation of lawyers?
