Many lawyers started out there careers as solo practitioners. I started my law firm traverselegal.com, which is now three partners, and numerous other virtual workers, in size as a solo practitioner.
There is a relatively new blog out there called Solo Practice University run by Susan Cartier Libel. Here’s the blog description which you should definitely check out:
So, what is the promise of Solo Practice University? Solo Practice University is a revolutionary, state-of-the-art web-based educational and networking community for lawyers and law students unlike anything you may have seen. This sounds like a tall order but we are going to deliver.
