That the job market for lawyers is absolutely flooded and will remain so for decades. Only top schools and top of their class graduates are going to be looked at for those top tier jobs. Increasing number of law school graduates don't even practice law. Don't do it!

[chocolatetwopointo]

is it js like that in america or everywhere?

[DrPepper12]

Definitely USA

[chocolatetwopointo]

good thing not everyones from usa then

[DrPepper12]

Agreed! USA legal system is and in general, is a waste land!!

It is high pressure. I deal with attorneys on the daily and yes, they might make a lot but 80+ hours per week is not uncommon, especially at trial time,

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

A lot, I’d talk to someone about the bar exam and the study guide you would need. You might also need some specific credentials.

Becoming a lawyer requires dedication and a rigorous educational path. Start with a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, then attend law school to earn a Juris Doctor (JD). Pass the bar exam in your state and consider specializing in an area of law that interests you. Internships and clerkships provide valuable experience. Strong analytical, research, and communication skills are essential. Networking with professionals in the field can also support your career growth.

Well a good idea of reality and a huge amount of books like a library on law then to make sure you keep up with how it changes then specialise in one area, oh and no life usually can't forget that one

[RedInnocent69]

Like, before law school. Nothing in particular. But you should be really good (academically) at something you’re passionate about.
