New Directions Program:
Practical Skills for Returning to Law Practice

A program developed in collaboration with the Westchester Women’s Bar Association 
 

Exciting news! New Directions participants, who are New York State residents, may be eligible for financial assistance!

Are you an attorney who has taken a leave from practice or never practiced? Would you like to return to the practice of law, or an alternative legal career, but you’re not sure how or where to begin? Would you like to bring your legal skills up to speed, learn and practice on-line legal research, develop a resume, refresh your interviewing skills? Would you like to obtain a current practical legal experience and, as a result, develop a current writing sample, references, and networking contacts?

If the answer is yes, then Pace Law School has the program for you! Pace Law School has developed a program to assist attorneys in their efforts to return to the legal marketplace as an attorney or in an alternative legal career.

When enrolled in the New Directions Program participants:

  • Have access to job postings for the duration of the program, and then for an additional three months after completion of the program;
  • Get in-depth, individualized career-counseling during and after the completion of the program;
  • Are not limited to pursuing their externships in New York. Attorneys from as far away as Philadelphia have participated in the New Directions Program and pursued their externships in Philadelphia.
New Directions is a three-part, bridge program designed to give lawyers the substantive law updates, professional skills and the practical experience they need to return to the legal workforce. Many business, legal, and other professionals are seeking to return to their professions after taking a break for child-rearing, pursuit of a different career, or other reasons.
