About Us
"I am disrupting the legal profession, with kindness, to make it more inclusive and sustainable," says Sara Forte.
That's why the employment lawyer in British Columbia, Canada, has launched Not Your Average Law Job, a project to dispel the myth that being a lawyer is a bad career choice for a mother of three.
"I have had many high school students, law students, and young lawyers tell me that this is their impression based on what they have seen and heard about legal careers at school and in the media, as recently as last week," Forte tells the Peace Arch News.
"Forte also wants to show younger people that it is possible to find meaning and happiness in a career as a lawyer, which is a concern, she says, many have."
Through Not Your Average Law Job, Forte hopes to address mental-health issues and the lack of diversity in the profession by re-defining the role of a lawyer, an email to Peace Arch News notes.
The website features stories of happy lawyers from around the world.
"I want to show the world, and especially the future of our legal profession, that you can have a full and happy life that includes an awesome law practice," Forte says.
