[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]would you recommend a legal career to someone who is interested in issues of human and social justice? [/quote] Yes, but only if $$ is not a concern. There is a lot of legal work to be done by people committed to social justice, but not a lot of money to pay for lawyers for doing that work. Jobs for social justice lawyers are hard to come by. So if this is what you want to do, don't go into debt to get your law degree. Do as many clinics/internships as you can. Network with like-minded students (look up the NLG at your school) and lawyers at non-profits. Be willing to move for the right job. Expect to work for a low salary and/or for free to start. If all that sounds OK to you, go for it![/quote]
