So You Want To Be A Malpractice Attorney

on Friday, March 30, 2012

One day you wake up, and you decide that you want to be a malpractice attorney. You take it as a lucrative job and you decide that you want to do everything in your power to actually become one. Before anything else, you have to make sure that your own life is in order. If you want to make money quick, go and sell used cars, but if you really want to make a difference in the world, you can become a medical malpractice attorney.

Time for school

First things first. Before you can even decide to go to any courses or take any classes whatsoever, you have to make sure you graduate from high school or at least get your GED. College is your next step where you have to get a degree in preliminary law or maybe business. After this, and only after this, can you focus on becoming a malpractice attorney.

I don't know if you are aware of the fact that in order to get accepted into college and universities that teach law you will have to take what is called LSAT. It is kind of like SAT, except it's for lawyers, so it's got the letter "L" in front of it.

If you manage to get accepted into those colleges, well at least one of them, you have to start working extremely hard to first pass the course to get your degree and then find a job at a law firm, or at least all legal department of a company so that you have the necessary experience which will then enable you to practice. Maybe you will be lucky and you get work with a company which is filled with malpractice attorneys.

The bar is raised.

When you are done with school, now you have to take a test which is called the bar. Most of the people that go through to this point fail this test the first time they take it, so they have to do it again. You will have to make sure that you know what terms and in that time schedules for the bar exams. After you pass, now you have time for a huge party, and then you start working.

The next step probably the most important one, is that you actually get a job at a company which is filled with malpractice attorneys that specialize in your field. Obviously no one can guarantee you that any of the companies that you have had contact with previously will actually hire you as their employee, so it is just a normal job hunting for you. Maybe it will be necessary for you to even move out and find a job in a different city or a different state. Be ready for that sacrifice. You work hard to get where you are, and you are worthy of a good position.
