Past The Bar® to Educate the Educated On the “Real-World”
Practice of Law

West Orange, NJ (April 2, 2007) – Mentoring in Motion, LLC® is proud to announce the introduction of Past The Bar® (http://www.PastTheBar.com) to the legal community. Tackling the problem of “Why didn’t I learn this stuff in law school, and why isn’t anyone teaching me this stuff I need to know now?”, Mentoring In Motion, LLC® is providing the solution in its Past The Bar® program.

“We’re excited to be able to give young lawyers and lawyers-to-be the tools they need to increase their chances of being happy and successful in what they do for a living,” said Janet Greenberg, Esq., one of the co-founders of Past The Bar ®. “Young attorneys coming out of school are pretty much left to sink or swim on their own. Not much has changed in that regard in 20 years. The real-world of law practice is a very different place from law school. While most law school graduates may be prepared to do the research required to write a brief, they have no clue how their hours are accounted for or what a write-off is, let alone how the law firm really makes money or how to go about getting business or how to service clients. Most have no idea how to control their career so they will end up happy instead of miserable and hating what they do.”

Past The Bar® is unique, the first of its kind, and offers professional development in the manner most helpful and useful to law students, practicing attorneys and their law firms. Harnessing a vast world of experience, the creators are comprised of talented lawyers and rainmakers, legal marketing and advertising professionals and attorney recruiting, coaching and training experts. Notable and distinguished attorneys, successful business people and other leaders in their fields are contributors and advisors.

Past The Bar® is giving people the tools and guidance they need to control their own destinies and to attain a satisfying and successful professional life, while helping law firms generate quicker returns on their substantial human investments.
