Assignment: Choosing a Career in the Judicial System
Lawyers make money-or so says one common opinion in society. While the law may offer a high earning potential, there are other reasons to practice law (and less lucrative areas of it). Consider that another word for lawyer is advocate, and to advocate means to represent and work for the interests of another. Whether that means advocating for the collective good of citizens (i.e., the government) or to ensure that every person in the judicial system receives representation (i.e., the defense), working in the judicial system in numerous areas can be a vocation, motivated by a desire to serve the public.
In this Assignment, you imagine that you have been called to deliver a presentation at a nearby law school in which you discuss the standards, ethics, and merits of a career in the judicial system.
