I can spot in 2 seconds how long a lawyers been in practice and which ones will suceed. Stay humble, work hard and appreciate your staff. You'll do great What are some qualities of the successful lawyers?
The lawyers who are in it because they want to make a difference/really love their niche tend to be on the happier side, while those who just see it as a vehicle to make a lot of money end up being more frustrated. Not true in every case, but a general rule from my experience.
Im not a lawyer, im a paralegal. I can tell you it's a long road of hard work. You won't come out of law school making 6 figures. You'll have to start at the bottom and work your way up just like most every other professions. But if you pay your dues, get in with a good firm and take advice from your peers, it's a quick climb to the top.

Law ( outside becoming a lawyer) gives you an excellent education in persuasi ve argument. This can be very valuable in many different careers. I'd be careful with that last part. Since it's tied to a very specific job, I think most employers would be even more concerned about you leaving the moment such a job opens up.
Patent law is a good field and not overly saturated since you are required to have a technical degree in order to even take the patent bar. 2. level 1. sschoo1. · 4y. If you can get through a decent law school without accruing a mountain of debt, then I would say it might very well be worth it.
I have always been interested in law as a profession. I'm really good at memorizing knowledge and recalling it and applying it.
Just wondering if there any attorneys out there travel frequently? If so, how frequently and how long are your stays?
I work at a small firm of fewer than 5 junior associates and have for the past 2+ years. This was my first post-law school job (3rd year associate).
I'm thinking of doing the solo practice thing someday, but I have a question about naming the firm. What alternatives are there to using my legal/married last name? I went to law school after I got married and now the idea of putting my husband's name on a building illogically enrages me.
