Deborah Arron was the first to write and speak openly about career alternatives for lawyers. A Seattle civil litigator and bar leader for 10 years, Ms. Arron left her practice and set out to discover why she and so many lawyers were unhappy with their career. From that research came her first book, Running From the Law: Why Good Lawyers Are Getting Out of the Legal Profession. The book broke the code of silence about lawyer dissatisfaction, and launched Arron’s second career as an author and national public speaker.
