- W66417762 abstract "Wearing a hard hat inside a gutted building on a humid summer morning a few years ago, I found myself facing a group of impatient drywall workers. They were waiting for me — an assistant project manager for a general contractor — to confirm the radius of an ellipse onto a floor for a wall layout. It seemed hard to imagine, but just two years earlier I was a real estate attorney in my late 30s sitting comfortably in my office drafting sophisticated acquisition, financing and leasing documents. After practicing corporate and real estate law for more than 14 years, I left — perhaps the word “escaped” is more appropriate — the financial comfort and anxiety of law firm life to slog in the mud and muck of the construction trailer. My career change demanded a combination of planning, good fortune and double dog dare. Along the way, I learned lessons about myself, the charitable spirit of others and the value of chasing a passion. The reasons I applied to law school are confused and probably better suited to psychology and the study of family dynamics. As the grandson of Russian immigrants and the son, nephew and cousin of lawyers, I entered law school, like many others, without proper consideration or a sense of purpose. In hindsight, I missed or ignored many indications that I was not well suited for the practice of law. In an industry that virtually demands, and richly rewards, exceptional and ambitious talent, I should not have ignored omens including LSAT scores and law school grades that put me somewhere in the middle of the pack of my classmates and below-average interest by employers. Failure to prosper in corporate and commercial real estate law after more than a decade should have been another signal. For many attorneys," @default.
