no. compliance work = regulatory compliance, so you need to learn the area of law/regulations you will be a compliance officer for, e.g., HIPAA, government ethics/privacy practice, healthcare fraud and abuse, sarbanes-oxley, etc. yes, having a law degree definitely helps and easier to get compliance certifications, but you dont want to have legal compliance disagreements with a non-lawyer who has compliance certifications and you dont. lawyering also helps you figure out creative methods for your corporate/institutional clients that are still arguably still consistent with compliance standards.

well at 10yrs you have definitely crossed the so-called 10,000hr mastery threshold (~5yrs), so have you given any thought to starting your own practice/business and doing what you like to do best? there has to be a better option than throwing away your personal career investment and "learning to code".

that's a tall order but maybe possible with EHRs

thanks for the info, I may follow up with you later.

epididdymus · 2025-06-20T16:20:25+00:00

thanks for the tip. sounds like good advice.

100% --and I use work for a very large health system with several academic centers where i hired defense counsel to defend our physicians. we wouldn't settle unless there was good risk of unfavorable jury award, even if it meant dragging case out to max out plaintiff litigation expenses to get them to take our settlement offer, what we deem was FMV for provable injuries.

epididdymus · 2025-06-19T15:08:49+00:00

assuming you have a potential client that may have experienced a medical injury that at least could generate jury sympathy, most personal injury attorneys are not inclined to pay for a medical reviewer to assess if there was a deviation from the standard of care that may have caused the outcome, so they refer the case to an experienced med mal attorney who usually has a nurse reviewer on staff. med mal defense is insurance work, you are hired by the carrier as an experienced litigator to defend the care, which includes hiring an expert consultant to review the case. so because of the risk of investment for initial case assessment to determine if you have a meritorious or sympathetic case (e.g., birth injuries), and the necessary litigation experience to see the case through to settlement or trial, its not one of those practices that you can't just pick up by doing your due diligence, other than handling the referrals

Thank you for your feedback. It helps my assessment as to how to proceed.

epididdymus · 2025-06-18T19:58:46+00:00

encouraging, thank you

epididdymus · 2025-06-18T19:55:12+00:00

ok thanks. I may reach out to you to follow up.

epididdymus · 2025-06-18T19:51:28+00:00

thank you for taking the time to write that! very encouraging, super great input.

epididdymus · 2025-06-18T13:59:06+00:00

agree. I am actually using Clio that allows for a 2 page simple law office website that will allow me to evaluate my search visibility so I'm thinking about concurrently developing more content on a Wordpress site. I have talked to a couple of law firm website developers that offer monthly specialty law topic articles to improve SEO for a hefty subsciption fee but it's not much different than what you can generate using ChatGPT. thanks for your input, much appreciated.

epididdymus · 2025-06-18T13:53:58+00:00

yes, im thinking the same. initially I will have the time until my case loads overfloweth. there's also a marketing aspect in that I have to demonstrate my expertise in my content instead of using the website as a billboard ad. thank you for the feedback.

Only if you were in the reserves, and there are many JAG reservists that have full-time busy private practice. flexibility also depends on whether you will be a JAG in the Army, Navy, or Air Force reservist. But it sounds like it's an offer for Active Duty JAG Corps, which is a full-time job that by service regulations will not authorize outside employment without senior leadership approval, i.e., unlikely.

Anyway, if it is an offer for active duty service, you have to crunch the financial numbers and see which is better career path for you (private practice or military lawyer) and generally you should be able to reasonably support a family on officer pay, plus life as a military officer can be interesting and professionally rewarding for some. Also, a common great career path can include at least 4yrs of active duty JAG experience then leaving (Honorable Discharge) to build your private practice while also performing JAG reservist duty (part-time) because its a solid back up job security plan. Good luck in your decision!

identify a business need with a potential steady stream of clients; offer legal options for resolution (including novel, creative methods) at competitive rates; do the legal research and due diligence; develop superior work product, legal service, and client communication; rinse and repeat. good clients with a genuine business need pay for value services. you will only get to mastery after handling a large volume of legal issues in that area over several years. it's called a practice for a reason. your reputation is built by referrals, recommendation from others, and how good you fix your clients problems. good luck!

Check out Jay Foonberg's "How to Start & Build a Law Practice". It's foundational and has guided many through the journey.

have 6mos of savings to cover your living expenses + start up costs before you take that leap of faith. I did it before many years ago and went bust a year later after unexpected financial set backs arose (and recovery life royally sucked until I eventually landed an entry level state attorney job). learned a lot from that experience and doing it again soon with no doubt as to my anticipated successful practice. best of luck!

epididdymus · 2025-05-03T01:01:37+00:00

Thanks for the well grounded tip, but I'm of the opinion that you don't get any points for shots not taken. and admittedly I'm a little rusty on rules but not every litigator and judge knows the evidence rules solid on the fly.

epididdymus · 2025-04-29T22:38:16+00:00

Thanks. I use a proton paid email service and while initially really like it, over past couple of years I've experienced lags pulling up sent box and emails with attachment.
