Welcome to the Project for Attorney Retention (PAR). PAR works to reduce unwanted attrition among lawyers, a benefit for both legal employers and lawyers, by promoting work/life balance and the advancement of women in the legal profession. We are an initiative of The Center for WorkLife Law of the University of California Hastings College of the Law, funded by our PAR members and individual supporters.
Our research keeps us at the forefront of organizations studying work/life balance. We devise business-based solutions that provide best practices to law firms, law departments, lawyers, and students. Our goal is to create a legal profession that is more inclusive and more responsive to clients. For information about PAR’s history, a definition of balanced hours and lists of PAR’s Board of Advisors and staff, see About PAR.
