Lawyer/Attorney: OBJECTION! A wag of the finger of Justice!

Introduction
OBJECTION! Bam! All eyes are on you when you yell it out in the courtroom, and you better make it count. Objections are a defense attorney's main weapon. Remember that. But before you can step into a court of law, you'll need years and years of education. Law School, to be exact. To get there, though, you will need to take your LSATs. Start prepping for that as early as possible. It's not easy, at all. Once you've secured that coveted law degree, it's time to pass the Bar. The career path to being an attorney is very strict and rigid. Everyone follows the same path, so expect competition.

Job Function
OBJECTION! There's nothing more satisfying than yelling "objection" and shooting down a hot-shot prosecutor's faulty argument. So, I guess my favorite part of being a lawyer is being in the courtroom. That's where it all happens. That is where Justice is served. It's where all attorneys want to be. That said, being in the court room is such a small part of being a lawyer. Most of the time, you'll be in the law office doing research and trying to dig up enough evidence and information to build your case. It's a love it or leave it experience. If you hate paperwork and long hours, then save yourself the pain. Being a lawyer isn't for you. Advertisement
Lifestyle
It's mostly work and some play. Like I said, you'll be doing lots of paperwork and information gathering. You're always working, and you'll oftentimes be in the office into the wee hours of the night preparing for trials. To be a Defense Attorney, you need to have lots of faith. You need to be able to trust your client and think they are innocent. If you can't, then doubt is going to eat you alive. No one wants to be responsible to setting free a criminal. At least, I don't (I'm sure most lawyers don't care either way). Still, some moral flexibility is required. Remember that.

Additional Information
Believe in your client. Remember that they are innocent until proven guilty, and it's your job to secure that "Not Guilty" verdict. That's a Defense Attorney's Credo. Maybe it isn't as glamorous as some people think, but it pays extremely well and everyone deserves a fair trial.
