Lawyers are jacks of all trades! In fact, a lot of my lawyer friends are now veering away from traditional lawfirm practice. Most are in alternative lawyering, business, photography, government, environment, surfing, blogging, etc. I'm one example - from focusing on pleadings, opinions, my time is now on my business, family and promoting, supporting and protecting breastfeeding, particularly the implementation of the Milk Code.
I recently met another lawyer who has a successful second career. Tina de Guzman, a development professional and lawyer, works in an NGO implementing judicial reform, human rights and anti-trafficking programs. Together with her husband Reindl, they set up "Fluffy Pwets," the first ever hybrid fitted diapers in the country.
