Life After Law School

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Life after law school is a big change from what graduates have done in the past. Law students spend three years in law school learning as much as possible about the law. Life after law school provides practical training. Graduates will learn the ins and outs of practicing their profession. Here are a few paths that law school graduates follow.

Law firms follow a set career path. There is a hierarchy that everyone adheres to. Most graduates who become associates desire to one day become partner. Being partner in a law firm means you have a say in the decisions made in the firm. You also share the profits after paying all other employees.
