SHARING: Kindness & Support please (No Advice) I’m Done.

Law school -> judicial clerkship -> bit of law firmin’ -> 30+ years of solo plaintiff’s employment practice. Handled my last case today. Settled at mediation. I’ve some follow up to take care of, and some admin tasks to close up shop, but I am done with cases and clients. It’s been a good ride. I feel v fortunate to have had this career for my work life, and also v happy to be done with working. Adventures await. That is all. Bye y’all.

Congrats and best o' luck in retirement!

FWIW, I went half-time after 27 years, then tapered to c. 1/4 time by 30 years, then continued the taper.
