Hello fellow women in law. I am a POC attorney in Minnesota trying to juggle work, life, and community. It feels like I’m failing in all aspects. I’m looking into options for leave but don’t think I would be able to disconnect from my community and don’t want to. It’s the work that is actually feeding me energy and hope. I’m not sure how my employer would take me spending time doing work in my community but on leave from work. Thoughts?

The fact that you're putting serious thought into this means you're not failing at supporting your community! I hope your employer works with you to find a good solution.

Is it their business what you do on leave?

This is how I think of it. Would I feel comfortable telling my daughter that I was silent when I should have been standing up?

Could you clarify what you mean by “doing work in my community?” If you mean paid or pro bono work, you should check your firm’s moonlighting policy.

Partner went to bat for me! 🙂
Last night, I got a nastygram from a client who basically wanted to forego due diligence in a major buyout we’re helping him with. “Stop requesting documents and just draft me my docs.” But we literally don’t know who owns what right now, terrible corporate records. This morning, the partner told me he’ll probably fire this client, big pat on the back.
