Despite three years of law school, passing the bar and snagging a job, lawyers often are plagued by feelings of being ill-equipped to handle the challenges that practicing law throws at them. They've got the credentials and they look the part, but they don't feel the part.

In addition, law career coach Jay Harrington, a former Skadden attorney, discusses how to turn those fears into assets.
