What
are you likely to actually be doing as a lawyer? Don't believe
the hype. While a few lawyers get to practice in seemingly
sexy fields like international law, entertainment law, sports
law, or civil right and civil liberties law, the vast majority
of lawyers work in civil litigation, criminal law, and family
law. "Corporate law" is not a separate area of the
law so much as a different sort of clientele.
