Solving the Part-Time Puzzle: The Law Firm’s Guide to Balanced Hours

Cynthia Thomas Calvert and Joan C. Williams, NALP, 2004

Dissatisfaction with work/life balance has been documented as a major cause of associate attrition, and many associates cite the lack of viable, non-stigmatized balanced hours options as a significant factor. In response to this challenge, authors Cynthia Thomas Calvert and Joan C. Williams of the Project for Attorney Retention have written this guide for law firms.

The book presents the business case for balanced hours programs; describes methods of analyzing the effectiveness of current part-time programs; and provides clear advice on implementation of a balanced hours program. The appendices include a model balanced hours policy, an attrition cost worksheet, and a checklist for attorneys.
