Resources for Unemployed Attorneys

Resources below are provided as a member service of the State Bar of Georgia.


Lunch and Learn for Lawyers Seeking Employment

The State Bar of Georgia recently offered a monthly Lunch and Learn program to assist members who were unemployed or underemployed. The programs were designed to help members network, share and learn about ways to effectively navigate the employment landscape.

At this time, we do not have additional programs planned. Any future programs will be announced under "Bar News & Events" on our homepage. Thanks to the generosity of ICLE of Georgia, we have a video replay of each program. Please refer to the replays below for information on what resources the State Bar has available to you, networking, possible career changes, and starting your own firm.

*Please note: This is not an actual replay of the April 2009 Lunch and Learn. Because the April lunch was not recorded, we've excerpted the two speakers from the Transition Into Law Practice Program CLE for beginning lawyers. The remarks are very similar to the April 2009 Lunch and Learn for Lawyers Seeking Employment.
