Law Schools Can Prepare You For a Legal Career

Posted by admin in Law School, Legal Research on October 1, 2011

Law Schools instruct prospective lawyers in both the academic and vocational aspects of the legal system. In the United States, Law School is considered to be a professional, post-graduate degree program. Applicants to Law Schools must have completed an undergraduate degree (usually a bachelor’s degree) in a related field, such as Humanities and Social Sciences.

At Law School, post-graduates acquire an academic and theoretical grounding in the legal system in preparation for a professional career. The professional Law degree is known as the Juris Doctor (J.D.) or Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.S.D.). Other Law degrees include the Doctor of Judicial Science (S.J.D.), and Doctor of Comparative Law (D.C.L.). Once the advanced degree has been obtained, the prospective lawyer must pass a state bar examination in order to become a licensed practicing attorney. Nearly all state bar associations require that the applicant’s Law School be approved by the American Bar Association (ABA).

A career in Law can be very stressful, but also very satisfying and lucrative. The average annual income for practicing attorneys is between $64,000 and $143,000. Lawyers employed in the private sector are typically paid more than those who practice in the public sector. Read the rest of this entry »
