I do support this country placement scheme as well, in fact I would absolutely love to move to a seaside country town for a couple of years. I've always wanted a beachfront house with surfable waves away from the city crowds.

My concern though, and this was a concern relayed to me by a ex-partner of a law firm (actually with decades of experience in a number of top law firms), is that there may be some trouble for a rural lawyer trying to reintegrate into the city law firms.

I'd be more than happy to hear any stories that negate this concern if anyone has any? Would this be in the same context as a suburban lawyer attempting to make a transition to a city law firm position?
