I have been interested in pursuing college and a career as a constitutional attorney for several years. Recently, I received an assignment in school to write a research paper on any career in which I was interested; naturally, I chose to research and write about being an attorney. As one component of the project, I am supposed to have these three questions answered by someone in the field. As I am also trying to learn more about whether or not a career as an attorney would be suitable for me, I was wondering if someone on this forum would be able to answer them (whether they specialize in constitutional law or any other area).
1. What specific kinds of work do you do?
2. What do you like and dislike about the job?
3. What advice would you give to someone interested in a career in this field?
Also, I've talked with some local lawyers before who have encouraged me to pursue patent or criminal law and discouraged me from pursuing constitutional law, as they've said that that career mostly entails work with appellate courts. Are there any specific advantages to patent or criminal law as opposed to constitutional law?
Thanks in advance.
