Any Lawyers/ Attorneys

Ouch, that would suck. Reading more makes me feel like this will be a lot of hard work.

nothing worth anything in life is easy...as posted above, law school is not an easy career path and the same can be said for many other career choices

I am a Lawyer. What question about law would you like to know?

So I already have public speaking as one of them. Should I take another history class? The only one availble is genocide studies. Or should I branch out a little into some differnt stuff.

You can.. (International Law) if you can handle that course, no disrespect but it may be disturbing at your age.. I would rather argue international law than U.S. law..

Public speaking is good. Effective communication is highly underrated. If your high school has a forensics or debate team (or club), I'd also recommend getting involved in those.

Sometimes I regret not going to law school. I would like to be in environmental or water rights law now.

I was prepared and did pretty good on the graduate school tests, but decided on MBA at the last minute. After a year, I thought that wasn't for me either, so I got a Masters in Communications.

It fit me better. I fished a lot all those years, and still do. I found I made a better living being around fishing, but not directly tied to being in tournaments. I write and manage an outdoor magazine full time, and have time and the means to fish when and where I want.

I also dabbled in tackle and bass boat sales in between magazine stints. So, there are ways to be around the sport without being a full time pro. (I hated the long hours by myself in a truck driving between events when I thought of going pro.)

Now, I fish local events that are within the state. Less driving and more fishing.

In nearly 40 years of being employed, I don't feel like I've really "worked" a day in my life.

Law school is not a requirement in a few states, may save some expense but doesn't make it any easier.  There are many law grads that never sit for the bar, that degree can up opportunities.

 

Besides the scores of friends I have that are attorneys, quite a few family members.  Most of them to my knowledge specialize, corporate, tax, sports & entertainment, wills & estates and general law.  Not unusual for an attorney never to step in to a court room.  In England they are solicitors and barristers which are the trial attorneys.  My son in law specializes in civil rights cases, some of it is pro bono.
