Anyone have any success stories of transitioning to an alternative legal/legal adjacent career, particularly for litigators?

Under which qualifiers? People who didn't go to law school, didn't finish? Never got licensed ? Did get licensed but didn't want to practice? Did practice but wanted a side hussle that became their main career? Other? Which type do you mean?

I'm assuming OP is interested in any and all success stories.

Maybe........searching her prior posts it shows a desire to leave CA where she is already licensed. So I am guessing law in CA is having at least a few pain days and she is looking to explore all options while blowing off steam online. I'm cool with that. But like you said........assuming.........

You have success stories of such to share with her?

Nothing you said challenges my assumption that OP would be interested in success stories of all kinds. Also, stop typing like a boomer/twelve-year-old.

I know a lot of former litigators who have gone compliance side. Seems like a very popular route.

Boomers are 12 now? Ok. As far as litigant to compliance, I admit that I don't know a lot about compliance. But seems off bat to be something where a law license is preferred so less an Alternative to law and more just a different type of tipping on the same .

Why on earth are you posting anon? (and with so many ellipses?)

+1 to the above--seriously, both anon and ellipses abuse. Not even a helpful comment at that.

Back to the question--i have seen a bunch of litigators switch to compliance, contract management, procurement, etc. type of roles. A lot of it comes down to how you want to spin your law experience.

I feel like compliance directly answer's OP's alternative legal/legal adjacent criteria. Almost every alternative legal/legal adjacent field is going to overlap with the law in some regard. That seems to be OP's intention. OP is trying to leverage his or her degree into a field where it's applicable/desirable but obviously not a purely legal role. Of the types of compliance I've seen, OP, I'd suggest you look into privacy (very popular right now), human resources, and maybe even Title IX positions at universities, if you can stomach that type of work.

As to anon: forwards slashes indicate "OR." Your ellipses and emoji abuse is something I'd expect from someone who is either a boomer OR twelve. Hope that clarifies things. Also, stop abusing anon.
