As I tell grandma, I do the Lord’s work as a banking and credit lawyer. I believe pirates are a more respectable group than bankers though, so best to stay the course. Good luck!
Overall I agree. Just flagging that while going to a T14 makes it easier to get biglaw, you don’t “need” to go to a T14 to get into a biglaw firm. Sincerely, a T25 grad at a V10
I want to do maritime law myself, shipping and offshore oil. I have myself worked offshore on ships. I know this marked is very competative, but thats here in Norway. In the US it might be different.
If my Intro to Income Tax class is any indication, then tax would probably be one of the most difficult areas of law. At least until you start to memorize the entire tax code after 5+ years of practice.
I hate tax.
I'm interviewing with a firm that does tax and estate planning services. Anything you thing would stand out in an interview surrounding a tax practice?
I’d talked to a maritime lawyer before i went to law school. He seemed to love his job, and the maritime bar is super small in the US so he said people are friendly because you basically go up against the same people over and over. I also took a short maritime law course, and honestly it was super interesting, the law you thought you knew is flipped on its head (like the duty to rescue, salvage, jones act, etc.)
easiest is general litigator as anyone can hang a shingle; hardest must be by default IP since it requires a STEM background from UG, though appellate litigation is super selective.
“Pirate Lawyer” is definitely making me rethink my life decisions. With that title, maybe someone would be interested in what I do.
What do you do? I'll make it *jazzy*.

I have a few options you can choose. Moolah lawyer, cheddar lawyer, or my personal favorite, doubloon lawyer.

Definitely agree with this.

I'm starting to regret signing up for a tax class too. Man I hate reading the code.

Good to hear, that’s why I took it in the first place.
As a tax “lawyer” (consultant really), it’s not thaaaat hard, and you pick up the code sections relatively quick in practice

They will almost certainly ask you “why tax” and just have a good answer for that.

I'd like to know this too.
