A significant motivating factor for the lawyers New Law Business Model trains and serves is building not just a lucrative and fulfilling law practice, but one that allows them to simultaneously build a life they love.
We wanted to learn a little more about what our lawyers do in their spare time, so we asked. The answers and photos that our members shared with us were way too much fun to keep to ourselves. Here are the top ten coolest ones.
“I lost 30lbs to become a world fitness champion and have done stand-up comedy and improv for the last ten years.”
