Recently I read an article on how to become a lawyer by ____ ____. This informative article goes in depth with what one needs to do in order for becoming a lawyer and what one should know about the profession. The author does not spend too much time going into detail about any particular branch of law but instead provides some general advice for each area from their experience in the field. The article focuses on the benefits of law school and becoming a lawyer.
To start off, the article talks about what kind of salary a lawyer can expect to make in the beginning stages of his/her career. Most people assume that lawyers make a lot of money and for the most part, this is true. A lawyer’s salary can be quite high because it usually is determined by their level of education and years of experience in practicing law. As someone who has been practicing law for many years and gone to graduate school, I can say with confidence that you will make a lot more money if you have done so. However, while it is true that a lawyer can make a good amount of money at the start of their career, they will only continue to make that amount of money until they are a certain level of education and experience. It is also important to remember that this salary doesn’t include the money spent on going to law school and getting your license, you will have to pay for those yourself.
The article also talks about how many years it usually takes for one to become a lawyer. The author does not go into detail about each different type of law but instead advises reading as much as possible in preparation for law school. One should know what kind of job they want because then it will be easier during the decision making process. The article states that it takes about six years to become a lawyer and that the best way is through law school. This is true for both the traditional path and for getting your license through the bar exam.
Going to law school is obviously going to take up more of your time but, in my opinion, it’s definitely worth it. The only downside to this path is that if you want to practice in your home state, you’ll most likely have to do so without going through law school since only certain states will allow someone without a law degree or license to practice in their state.
When speaking about internships, the author advises students to start searching for internships as soon as possible. The earlier you do this, the better the chances of getting a paid internship or job. However, if you don’t have a lot of experience in law and still have a lot to learn then trying to get an internship might be a bit difficult- especially if it’s unpaid. Therefore, it is advised that one should try to get a paid internship while they’re still in school because they will gain a lot more experience and knowledge at this point in their career.
The article also goes into detail about the different types of law that the author has done. It is important to know what kind of law you want to practice in order to make a decision about what kind of law is best for you. The author does not go into detail about each type but instead advises that one should check out which areas appeal to them most. One should also research as much as possible in order to understand the different types of laws/rules/regulations and how they affect one person and another.
In the end, it is advised that a person interested in law should do their research and get as much experience as possible during their time at school. This can be done by working in a law firm during school and doing research work for the professor. It is also important to research what kind of a job one wants to get once they are graduated from law school and are ready to practice. Most people want to find a job that involves some sort of area that they like and where they can use their skills.
To conclude, I think that this article serves as an excellent guide for individuals trying to decide if becoming a lawyer is going to be a good career decision for them. There are many different types of law, which means there is something for everyone even if you don’t know exactly what you want out of life yet.
