Being a lawyer is a mixed bag. Some lawyers work long hours and receive little pay, others work long hours for great pay. Some sell their soul to make a buck, some are into it for the sake of justice and the law. It is slightly difficult to become an attorney. You need to go to a University for at least 6 years and you need to pass an examination testing your knowledge and application of general law. To be an effective attorney, you need to be able to communicate well in both oral and written form, which means being able to read and listen as well as to speak and write. You need to be able to apply similar situations to the situation at hand. And, you need to be able to be concise and detail oriented. |

What gives a lawyer the Let's say I want to sue
somebody for libel but all I
have is their Gmail address.
Naturally, I need a lawyer to
obtain their name and IP
address from Google. So what
does the lawyer do to obtain
those records? Does he show up
at Google and say "I'm a
lawyer and I need this?"

What are the downsides of Hello, everyone. I need some
insights and wisdoms from
people who are lawyers or know
a lot about the inside and out
of being a lawyer.
Growing up in my community, I
had so many people telling me
how glamorous life of a lawyer
is, how much money they make,
how nice are their houses and
cars, how respected they are
in their community. It almost
sounded like being a lawyer is
one of the most fantastic
careers in the world with
hardly any problems.
But as life is, I am sure
there are downsides of being a
lawyer that many ordinary
people don't know about. 1.
What are the downsides of
being a lawyer? 2. At the end,
do you believe the good sides
far outweigh the bad sides? 3.
Would you recommend the career
to someone who values deeply
on family time and enjoying
life?
Thanks in advance for any
insights.

Your always swamped in working in the city, you constantly face personal ethical issues, you defend guilty people, you defend people who don't really care about themselves. I would recommend it to a single person or a person with older kids, and a spouse that doesn't mind a crazy schedule. |
