Last month, Law.com published the first part of an interview with co-authors Liz Brown and Amy Impellizzeri, who wrote “How to Leave the Law,” published by Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing in 2022, a book that explores the various options available to lawyers who aren’t interested in—or are burnt out on—traditional legal careers.

Brown and Impellizzeri told Law.com about their own journeys out of the legal profession and how other lawyers can chart a path to careers they find fulfilling. In a continuation of that conversation, the co-authors discuss how to know when it’s time to seek that new career path.

Brown received an A.B. in history and literature from Harvard University in 1991, her J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1996 and worked as a litigator for 10 years. She is currently an associate professor at Bentley University teaching business law to undergraduates. Brown’s first book about law, “Life After Law: Finding Work You Love With the J.D. You Have” was published by Bibliomotion in 2013.
