Are you an involuntary jack of all trades?

We hear from some quarters that legal generalists are a dying breed, that the law is too complex and voluminous for a jack of all trades. But in the latest ISBA Family Law newsletter, family-law practitioner Ross Levey writes about the involuntary jack-of-all-trades nature of his practice. "Over the past year, besides understanding the IMDMA and the Parentage Act, I have also had to research issues related to bankruptcy, social security, ERISA, guardianship, adoption, tax/financial planning, probate, real estate, immigration, contracts, personal injury, partnership, corporate and criminal law and I could go on," he writes. Chances are you're seeing the same thing. Read Ross's interesting observations about what it means and what you can do in response.
