Is a law career right for you?

What you may assume is a glamorous, prestigious, well-paying profession can often be both a boring and stressful one, leaving you little time to develop personal relationships and outside interests. Challenge your motivation for pursuing law school! Make sure someone else hasn’t made your decision – a well-meaning family member or counselor – or that you are not avoiding the “real world” by simply continuing to be a student. Do an internship in a law firm; shadow a lawyer for several days and talk to others in the profession. If you like what you see, you may be a great candidate for law school and an effective future lawyer.
