THEN: Jeff Holt pulled the trigger on law school only after extensive discussions with contacts in the legal industry convinced him that it was the right move and that the job market was likely to improve by graduation. “It’s time for me to try something new and face a new challenge,” the then-27-year-old said. “I can’t wait to learn a new way to think.”
NOW: Life is very different for Holt. He is an associate in the corporate and tax practice at 250-attorney Burr & Forman and also a dad — his wife gave birth to their first child during the summer after Holt’s 2L year.
