Do lawyers make more money than other professions?
No. Lawyers often earn less than doctors and dentists, engineers or architects, teachers, nurses, accountants and pharmacists, and veterinarians. Lawyers average $55,000 annually.
Which type of lawyer are you most in demand?
The best way to describe this question is to say that there are two types of lawyers. They are transactional attorneys and litigation lawyers. Transactional lawyers handle business law and contracts. Litigation attorneys deal with lawsuits. A generalist is a lawyer who specializes in both. The "Big Law" attorney is perhaps the best-known example. He or she practices at large firms, and is able to handle many different types cases. Generalists may be transactional or litigation lawyers.
Transactional lawyers handle all sorts of legal matters: divorces, wills, trusts, real estate transactions, employment agreements, etc. Many of these lawyers work on a contingent fee basis. Lawyers are paid only if the case is won by their client. The lawyer will not be paid if their client loses. Because they have to pass trials to win cases, these lawyers are sometimes called "trial attorneys".
Litigation lawyers handle lawsuits. They may represent clients at administrative hearings or in courtrooms. Some litigators also do transactional tasks. For example, they could draft documents on behalf of their clients. A company can use litigation lawyers to defend it from a lawsuit brought in by another. One person may hire them to sue another person (the victim). Some law firms are solely focused on personal injury cases. Others are more focused on commercial disputes. Still, others practice family law.
It is essential that litigation lawyers are able to present and argue evidence before judges and juries. They must understand the rules of civil procedure and other aspects of the law governing litigation. They must be able to research and analyze facts and issues. They should also be skilled negotiators.
Are all attorneys required to wear suits?
Not necessarily. Some people prefer casual attire while others like suits. Many lawyers dress casually. Some states, however, require lawyers to wear business attire.
How do lawyers get paid?
Legal professionals are paid an hourly rate for the time that they spend on legal matters. Hourly rates depend on the complexity and experience of the matter.
Because they have built expertise over many decades, the most skilled lawyers charge higher hourly rates.
As an experienced lawyer, a lower hourly rate may be possible because they have learned more about how to handle cases efficiently.
Lawyers often receive additional compensation beyond the hourly rate for certain cases. Lawyers who represent criminal defendants may receive bonuses if they obtain acquittals.
What type of job opportunities can I expect once I am done with college?
There are three main career paths for graduates: public service, private practice and public interest. Public interest jobs can be as an attorney in a non-profit or as a judge. Private practice positions can include solo practitioners, partners in a firm, and corporate counsel. The government service career includes being a judge, defense lawyer, or prosecutor.

How To
How to make a Will with a Lawyer
A will is an important legal document which determines who gets the property after you die. It also contains instructions on how to pay off debts and other financial obligations.
A solicitor (lawyer) should prepare a will. Two witnesses must sign it. You have the option to opt not to create a will if everything is to be left to someone else, with no restrictions on how they spend it. This may cause problems later on, when you are unable consent to medical treatments or to decide where your loved ones live.
If you do no have a will the state will designate trustees to oversee your estate until you pass away. This includes paying off all debts and donating any property. The trustees will then sell your house and divide the proceeds between your beneficiaries if there is not a will. Administrators of your estate will be charged a fee.
A will is necessary for three reasons. It protects your loved ones from being left behind. It ensures your wishes are fulfilled after you pass away. Thirdly, it makes it easier for your executor (the person appointed to fulfill your wishes).
Contact a solicitor first to discuss your options. The cost of a will varies depending on whether you are single, married, or widowed. In addition to writing a will, solicitors can advise you on other matters such as:
-
Make gifts for family members
-
Guardianship of children
-
Repaying loans
-
Managing your affairs while you are alive
-
Avoiding probate
-
How to avoid capital gains tax when selling assets
-
What happens to your house if you pass away before it is sold?
-
Who pays for funeral costs
Either write the will yourself, or have a relative or friend help you. But remember, if someone asks you to sign a Will, you cannot modify it later.
