Screaming Bean
Monday, August 07, 2006

Since I've graduated from law school, anyone that I meet asks the inevitable question, "So what sort of law are going to go into?" It's like when you're a little kid and you're asked, "So what are you going to be when you grow up?" Back then you could be cute or strange and say, "I want to be an archeologist!" (Actually used to say that.) Nowadays, I try to be thoughtful and give a real answer. I was once traumatized on a practice interview by giving the following answer: "I'd like to be a business or corporate lawyer." To which the follow up questions were, "Did you take Tax/Bankruptcy/Securities? So I'm always hesistant to answer the question now.

Going into law school, I had given serious thought to Labor and Employment law. I got a taste of it as a paralegal, and took courses to that end. I wrote my senior writing requirement on the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. However, it doesn't mean I'm wedded to the idea of being a labor or employment attorney. I really liked Business Law. I enjoyed Products Liability. I did a stint as an intern at a corporation. I didn't take Tax. I didn't take Bankruptcy. Does this means I shouldn't answer Business or Corporate lawyer? And being fresh out of school, I don't want to shoehorn myself into limited job opportunities. If someone needs a real estate attorney, I could do that. I enjoyed Trusts and Estates...I could do that. Not so much on the crim pro/crim law stuff though...not really my bag. So how do I answer this question? I really should know by now, but I don't. And as a result I feel like a total moron.
