Lawyer

Josh c will demo the fine points of a career in law.....

=Why I chose this occupation:= I chose this particular occupation because I have always had an interest in law and it is one occupation that I actually considered pursuing as a career. I have always admired lawyers for their ability to speak well and think on their feet. It also required great analytical skill which I also find to be quite admirable in a person. Lawyers are stereotypical very intelligent and are often shown as being heartless and cruel, only doing their job for a large payoff. I think this is untrue and unfair because this profession is very respectful and requires a very smart and unbiased person, lawyers save a lot of people from unfair outcomes regarding law. I think lawyers are some of the smartest and most important people in society and for that reason i chose to do this assignment on that profession.

=What is a Lawyer?= A lawyer is in the most general terms someone who works with the law. There are many different types of Lawyers and they all have different responsibilities. Some Lawyers are involved in family law. They help people with things like wills, marriages, divorces, mortgages, and anything else that is family oriented concerning law. Other Lawyers are involved in more common law, the type you see on television. They are concerned with defending people convicted of crimes in court and helping people who have been done wrong against or injured who want justice. Lawyers review the cases at hand and try to make an argument for their client so they get the outcome they want,

=Technology= Lawyers use a various amount of technology in their job. The most obvious being a computer. Their job involves a heavy amount of research and where else to go for that other than the internet. They could also use tablets for note taking and cellphones for sound recording.

=Training= A degree in Law requires extensive schooling. Admission to a law school requires a previous undergraduate degree of 4 years in length then once admitted to law school it requires another 3 to 4 years of training. One such school that offers a law program is York University and their Osgoode Hall Law program, one of the best in Canada. The Osgoode JD is a three-year degree involving six terms (fall and winter) of full-time study. Students complete a prescribed set of courses in first year and 60 elective credits in second and third year. This is only one of many law schools in Canada and though we lack one in Newfoundland we may get one in the near future.

=Work Opportunities= There are currently no job listing in Newfoundland on jobsinnl.ca for Lawyers.

= Salary and Benefits = A Lawyer can earn anywhere from $70,000 to upwards but not limited to $400,000. They can also earn more money if they become partners in a firm or open their own firm. Lawyers have very high end lifestyles and are known for making a lot of money. It is also a job that takes work and the more you excel at the job the more you will make.
