LAWYER

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

A lawyer is a person who practices law, as a barrister, judge, attorney, counsel, or solicitor.  Working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of those who hire lawyers to perform legal services. The role of the lawyer varies greatly across legal jurisdictions, and so it can be treated here in only the most general terms.

SALARY:

 Lawyers make about $113,530 annually.

EDUCATION:

The educational prerequisites for becoming a lawyer vary greatly from country to country. Some countries require extensive clinical training in the form of apprenticeships or special clinical courses.

REFLECTION:

I wouldn’t want to be a lawyer because it’s practically not something I would see myself doing. I don’t think it’s a very good choice for myself.
