They must be able to interpret laws, rulings and regulations for individuals and businesses. Analyze the probable outcomes of cases using knowledge of legal precedents. A lawyer must also be able to present and summarize cases to judges and juries, but most of all a lawyer must also evaluate findings, develop strategies, gather evidence to formulate defense or to initiate legal actions.
Salary: median of $114,300
Education: Usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school-- 4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school.
Reflection: Do you think you would like to become one? Why or why not?
To be a lawyer you would have to have respect for the law and although I do not agree with it completely, yes I would like to become a lawyer. The reason for this is that most people do not know their birth-given rights and others take advantage of that, or someone thinks that the law does not apply to then and that is not fair.
