My name is Benjamin, I study in paralegal science at the college Ahuntsic. In this program, we study law. It is my second year in this program, and I am supposed to finish next year. I have a lot of classes such as business law, criminal law, civil law and many others. When I finish this program, I will go to the university to have a law degree in to eventually become a lawyer. If you have ever thought of becoming a lawyer then this is for you, you will learn everything you need to know about lawyers.
Being a lawyer is very stressful, because your work and your action have a direct impact on people's life, but it is so rewarding when you use this power to make a difference in their life.
They present the facts to the judges in court, they analyse law, and they give some legal advice to people who need it.
This job is really divers, every day you can have a different task to do such as giving advice to clients, representing client in court, gathering evidence, and many more.
They usually work in a law firm with other lawyers, but they often travel to meet clients at their house, in prison or in a court room when they have to represent them.
You need to start with a law degree at the university, after that, you have to pass the bar exam, and finally you need to succeed an internship with a lawyer.
The average salary of a lawyer is $145134 per year.
Every year, they have a many hours of training to do, if they don't, they won't be authorized to practice anymore.
They have to work with very dangerous people and that expose themselves to reprisals from criminal organisation.
According to the website "Will robot take my job?" there is 37% chance of a full automation of this job for the next 2 decades.
Normally, lawyers retire between the age of 62 and 67.
I hope that this helped you and answered all the question you had about this job. The important thing to remember is that even if this job ask for a lot of studies, this is worth it, because being a lawyer is to make difference in many people's life.
