For the past several years, I've been focusing on my former career in marketing and communications. That doesn't mean that I don't still love the law: in face, I spent a number of years doing MarComm work for the New Hampshire Bar Association.
My current Bar status is "Inactive Retired". This means that I can't actively practice as an attorney in the Granite State unless I pay the Bar a boatload of money and take several continuing education courses to get back up to speed on current developments in the law.
"Retired" of course, doesn't mean that I'm on Social Security and golfing in Florida every day. The term is being used very specifically as to whether I'm doing any work which might constitute the practive of law.
But I still get bragging rights to say that I'm a "retired attorney." And the many benefits of a legal education translates well to other professions.
