Private Practice Lawyers

Paper Summary:

It discusses the importance of private practice lawyers being able to bring justice to people who have been wrongly accused and whose constitutional rights have been violated.

From the Paper:

"The first step to becoming a lawyer is receiving an education. Receiving a good education is a vital key to the success of lawyers. After receiving a Bachelors degree in a certain major, students must then go to law school which usually takes about 3 years of full time classes to complete. After graduating from law school and passing the American Bar Associations approved Bar exam, the student is free to practice law. The average salary for recent graduates who go into private practice ranges from $40,000 to about $120,000 per year (Thompson 67-73). But because recent grads must usually relocated to a different area, pay off student loans, and acquire a professional wardrobe; many of them struggle to make ends meet the first couple of years after graduating. Due to these expenses, many law students are drawn to private practice, because of the opportunity to make large amounts of money."
