What kind of professions are out there for law students who don't want to be attorneys?
|
I am a JD candidate, and to be honest, after investing 2 years of my life in law school, I am not quite sure if law is the field I want to practice in. Are there any other former law students out there that did not end up practicing law?
(and, I don't want to just quit school, since I am almost done. I would rather just complete my degree first).
I am kind of interested in 2 different fields:
(1) compliance - can anyone give me more information in this field? and
(2) fashion law - this would probably be the only area of law that I would be interested in pursuing. There does not seem to be much information out there on the web in this field. Any ideas?
Any helpful tips and ideas would be appreciated. 10 points to the best answer!
Additional Details
Thanks for the suggestions so far, but I want to stay away from law. The only two areas of law that would be interesting are compliance and fashion law.
Also, Stephen - I have seen you cut and paste the same blurb on almost every legal question. While I am sorry to hear your plight and situation, your last paragraph was a enough to post as an answer. I am very well aware that there is a plethora of JD candidates and not enough jobs, but you have to fight for what you want and seems like private practice was a good step for you.

Immigration would be another good area.
Very few court appearances required - unless you have a client who gets denied and they choose to appeal the decision.
Basically its mostly just filing a LOT of paperwork with the immigration department. |

I have been over whelmed by government and big business getting away with trampling mine and my daughter rights.
If anyone else did it they would go to prison for grand theft, murder.
I wish and pray that someone would represent people like me and my daughter. |
