A panel discussion will follow highlighting lawyers who have found satisfaction in various practice settings, non-traditional legal positions, and out-of-law careers.

Hindi Greenberg graduated in the top ten percent of her class in 1974 from Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, clerked for two courts, and was a business litigator in a major San Francisco law firm, a five-person firm, and in a corporation. She left full-time practice in 1984 and, during the next five years, did contract legal work for other lawyers. In 1985 she started Lawyers in Transition in San Francisco to help attorneys obtain satisfying career choices in and outside of law and assist law firms and corporations in retaining the best attorneys. Ms. Greenberg has presented repeat programs for the American Bar Association and state bar and specialty associations and law schools nationwide. She has been interviewed by major legal and general publications, including Time, Business Week, U.S. News and World Report, Forbes, USA Today, the New York Times, California Lawyer Magazine, as well as CNN, NBC, ABC, and PBS television. The Los Angeles Times called her "the Ann Landers for lawyers." She has also written numerous articles and her own comprehensive career and resource guide.
