I practice corporate and healthcare law.My work is transactional; it involves contracts, deals,and regulatory compliance
As a transactional attorney, I draft documents, negotiate deals, attend meetings and make calls toward those ends. I am also constantly reviewing documents, doing research, and writing emails. And it's fun (really!) if you are involved in an interesting transaction. I used to have long hours at the office, however, due to the pandemic, I now work from home and appreciate the greater flexibility in my schedule.
Here's the first step for college students
It depends on what stage in life you are in, but for any stage, I'd recommend finding a mentor in the legal field. If you are interested in law and have an idea of what kind of law you want to practice then do not hesitate to connect with those professionals. See if they can be a mentor, ally, or somebody you can talk to. I personally benefited a lot from my mentor when I was a solo practitioner and needed help.
" don't think anyone really believed that I would be in a demanding career or thought that it was good for me, either. Some thought that being a good wife and mother or just staying at home might have been better. "
If I had all the time in the world, I'd love to travel to different countries and just be present without having to think about work, and maybe even write a book. I try to live day by day, just spending time with my family, being happy and healthy.
