The Careerist takes an inside look at how lawyers shape their careers and manage their lives. The blog aims to dissect developments in the profession, provide useful information and advice, and give lawyers a platform to voice their views. The goal is to provide a fresh, provocative take on the state of lawyering.
Vivia Chen, The Careerist's chief blogger, has been covering the business and culture of law firms for a decade.
