Lawyer

The working field I want to link my future with is becoming a lawyer. Lawyer is a complicated profession that has a lot of responsibilities- to find evidence, to defend a person using them, to argue someones rights, to give advices on the right ruling of the company. Even though lawyer is one of the hardest and most risky professions, many people choose it as their future career because of its prestige in the society and the amount of money it gives them. A lawyer is needed not only in court, he is also needed in the personnel of the company, so he would tell the owner if there is something they are doing or will do that is not aloud under the constitution of the country; another you can just call a lawyer for some legal advice, or any questions that include the law. As I said above there are two kinds of a lawyer- advocate and just an advisor. These two parts of the profession are a lot different but probably the only thing that they have in common is that they both have something to do with law.

Advocates help people in the court so they want go to jail, or so they won’t pay the money to the other person, who is against them. Most of the time advocates get a lot higher salary then advisors, but it is only if they are good, and if they won many times in the court, so they have a reputation. Though the salary of the advocate might be bigger then the advisors is, the advocate only gets money when he gets a client to defend in the court, and after all the process finishes, which might even take as long as years, if it is hard.

Advisors work on the companies or just have their own agency in which every person can come and get an advice about something concerning a moment of their life with law. These people give advices on how should you do everything not overcoming the constitution laws, but they only give advices, they don’t defend people in the court like advocates do.

For the most of the time, lawyer basically has three work places: courtrooms, their office, and law libraries. These are the places they do their thinking, defending, and learning/ making sure the law they are thinking about is right, they also have to meet with their clients, and that could be anywhere. They mostly meet at homes, and offices, and if necessary in prisons or hospitals. Lawyers may even travel around the world if they want to get extra practice on the extra programs provided for lawyers, they might also travel in order to find the evidence and witnesses or other people in other parts of the world.

Before becoming a lawyer, there are a few requirements thing to do. You must complete four years of undergraduate work. You must also complete another three years of law school and get a Bachelors or Master degree in Law, is some countries even two degrees in the same time. In my opinion you should also have a great ability to communicate with people and express your thoughts. Without the ability to communicate you will fail to succeed.

When a lawyer- advocate gets some kind of evidence he has to analyze it and get something out of it, which might help you later to make some conclusion and get your client out of jail before he even goes there. A background of multi disciplinary is required regardless of what type of law you are interested in. Students interested in a particular type of law should seek courses .The education needed differs greatly among the countries as I said earlier. After studying in the university you would have to get some practice in the company of some other lawyer, which will teach you all the possible things you might do.

A great example of how bad lawyers are needed in the society today is provided below. “Lawyers held about 735,000 jobs in 2004. Approximately 3 out of 4 lawyers practiced privately, either as partners in law firms or in solo practices. Most salaried lawyers held positions in government or with corporations or nonprofit organizations. The greatest number of lawyers working in government were employed at the local level. In the Federal Government, lawyers work
