Ellen Ostrow, Ph.D. is a new breed of psychologist. Founder of LawyersLifeCoach.com, a website that provides resources to help lawyers combat the long-hours trend, she provides personal and career coaching for lawyers determined to achieve balance: to work shorter hours and get themselves a life. Specifically she seeks to help young attorneys - most often women, but sometimes men - buck brutal requirements for billable hours and 70-hour to 80-hour work weeks, and actually take advantage of the work/life policies newly on the books.
