Save the date: November Panel Event on Thursday, November 19th

I know I was shell-shocked after law school when I started at a firm.  I know it was similar for friends who started out on their own.  Now, more than ever, it’s essential to be prepared for life after law school and we want to help you know what to expect when you’re first starting out! What are realistic expectations of balancing personal/family time and work?When can you expect to make partner (and how does it work?) How do you make money if you are on your own? How have things changed in the last 9 months? Tune in with the CMBA to learn the answers to these burning questions and more with attorneys in the big firm, solo practice, and government realm. Speakers:  Thomas Peppard, Tucker Ellis Daniel Baron, Baron Law Kira Kittoe-Krivosh, Cuyahoga County Prosecutors Office

Event Details: When: 12 PM – 1 PM on Friday, November 6th, 2020 Where: Zoom Cost: Free, this is a complimentary program! For more information:  https://bit.ly/2HirIb8
