the ABA Journal at www.abajournal.com is
that it includes many life-work balance, legal tech, and “legal profession in
society” articles. I think that once you see this website, many of you
will want to visit it regularly. But for this last skill exercise
question of the course, I want you to go to the work/life balance news by
topic page at www.abajournal.com (should
be available here: http://www.abajournal.com/topic/worklife+balance/)
and select an article under work/life balance that you find particularly
relevant to your interest in the legal profession. Tell me the title,
author, and URL of the article. Then in 3-4 sentences tell me why you
selected that article and what you learned from the article.
