What ELSE Can You Do With a Law Degree?

Former criminal defense and in-house lawyer Taisha Rucker used to wonder what else she could do with her law degree. Now 13 years later, she’s answered the question, and is working on a book to help law students, new grads, and burned-out lawyers who are just beginning to ask. As part of Rucker’s research, she has created a thoughtful blog (www.LimitlessLawyer.com) that profiles successful ex-lawyers whose legal career took an unexpected turn, and she provides a brief online survey for those who want to tell their own story.

Rucker (University of Michigan Law, 1995) currently works for an educational consulting company in San Francisco, and in her spare time is honing her skills writing screenplays.
