Attorney Career

If you're the type that enjoys a good debate or insists on winning every argument, you might have the makings of a lawyer. But don't be fooled; a successful attorney career requires years of study and the willingness to specialize. Those that dedicate themselves find a profession with limitless opportunity.

Attorney Career Profile
Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of an attorney career is the sheer variety of the work. Lawyers can choose to work in a variety of specialties, including real estate law, divorce and family law, public defense, or criminal prosecution. Attorneys attend hearings, prepare legal documents, argue cases before a jury, and act as advocates and advisors for their clients. As you might expect, the demand for qualified lawyers continues to grow. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment of lawyers is projected to increase by 11% over the coming decade; that's about as fast as the national average.

What It Takes to Get There
Your attorney career begins with an undergraduate degree followed by a 3-year advanced degree in law. You also must pass the National Bar Examination for certification by the American Bar Association. Those candidates wishing to enter a specific area of litigation pursue additional training from a governing association. For example, federal, state, and local Department of Justice prosecutors and litigators train at the National Advocacy Center in advocacy skills and management of legal operations. More than 10,000 candidates are projected to receive this training annually. In addition to classroom instruction, the NAC offers televised and taped Continuing Legal Education classes.
