Amiel Z. Weinstock - Associate at Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham LLP
"Be patient with your professional growth. Try to learn something from every experience that you can apply towards your development. Don't be afraid to tell a client "I don't know"; you are not expected to have all the answers at your fingertips."

Lori Silver - The Law Office of Zick Ruben
"Young lawyers who want to spend time with their children should think creatively about structuring their legal careers. Explore careers outside of traditional practice. I worked at a big firm, had my first child, clerked for a federal judge, worked in-house at a major university, had my second child, and am now at a small firm. I feel fortunate to have a job that I love and the time to pick up my children from school."

R. Lindsay Wilson II - Partner at Nixon Peabody LLP
"I would advise young people entering the practice of law to find a good mentor - someone that they trust and that is willing to invest time and energy into their training and development."

Edward R. Wiest - Edward R. Wiest, PC
"People skills--in dealing with clients, colleagues and adversaries--will be just as important (if not more so) as the technical skills you acquire in law school in determining what shape your career will take."
