QUESTION 5 OF 30

Why did you choose to go into law?

Law school is time-consuming and expensive but well worth it if you have followed your passion to get there. And while law school can prepare you with the basics of law in certain areas, much of the learning continues on the job. Before making that kind of investment, hiring partners want to know that you want to invest in your career and stay long-term.

"I've always been a very detail-oriented person and worked to effectively communicate my ideas to others. I knew that these skills were necessary to be a lawyer and chose to invest in myself to pursue this career. In law school, I took courses that focused both on transactional work and litigation so I could get a better idea of what type of law I would most like to practice. I found that I enjoyed negotiating and drafting contracts in a transaction rather than showing up in a courtroom to argue. I appreciate all the technical knowledge I learned in law school and look forward to applying it to help our clients."
