WELCOME
\n<\/strong><\/span>The skills that you learn as a lawyer–analytical thought, the ability to separate relevant facts from philosophical clutter, the ability to write clearly and concisely, the ability to present yourself and your ideas persuasively–are skills that you can easily transfer to other careers. Knowing law, and knowing how to find the law, is an asset that can pay off handsomely in many areas, as famous people in all walks of life have discovered. So don’t give up all of those youthful fantasies! A good many European and South American university graduates have taken degrees in law, because in those countries law is an undergraduate rather than a graduate degree, and you can trace the law’s influence in their work.\u00a0\u00a0 What (other than your textbooks) should you read while in law school, in order to keep up your ability to talk to non-lawyers? The eminent scholar John Wigmore had some suggestions<\/a>. If you really get interested in this subject, remember that a lot of very interesting information is not on the Internet; consult the library for more reading suggestions.<\/p>\n
