Stephen Le Bronco is an attorney and counselor at law. He told me that when he started working in this industry, most new lawyers often work in office areas for big law firms with a poor compensation. He didn't want that so he decided to open his own law firm. What made that happen was the relations he builds during he was at school. One of the most important advises I get from him was “Always think bigger. If you want to do great business, you need to think big, get along with big people and act to win.” When he told his friends and family about his dream of open his own law firm everyone thought he was joking and always ignored him. But when family and friends saw that his dreams became reality they started to have more respect towards

In the reading, “The Transformation of the American Legal Profession,” Abel Richard explores how the stratification of the legal profession has changed throughout the years. Richard shares that during the 1870s and 1950s American Lawyers “developed local, state, and national bar association; promulgated ethical codes, and established disciplinary procedures” (Richard). In other words, they started to restrict the requirements to become a lawyer in order to protect the “legal knowledge.” Richard also addresses the issue of competition within the lawyers. He claims that due to the high competition, solo practice started to decline and many lawyers started to work in larger firms. Similar to this reading, in “Chicago Lawyers: The Social Structure of The Bar,” the authors John Heinz and Edward Laumann focus on the contemporary

Those students show a great commitment and had had experience working in these fields. This article relates to what we discussed in class by showing how the interest in law careers have changed throughout time. During week 2, we talked about how professions have been reshaped by our modern ethics and beliefs. When the law profession was adopted in the United States, the practice of law was based on the Great Britain’s law structure, where there were two types of lawyers: barristers and solicitors. Barristers were in charge of arguing a case and taking it to court and solicitors were in charge of handling minor cases. However, as the nation expanded because of new immigrants, the need for the legal profession in the industrial economy increased. The legal profession shifted from ligation to negotiation (Seron). As pointed out by the reading, one of the main reasons law students shifted from public interest practice to pursuing business and corporate law was because of the few resources and limited control they have over their

Regarding the advancement potential, I expressed my concern that the job growth for the legal profession is slow. Daniel confirmed that I am true because the legal industry was hurt after the 2008 economic crisis. He also mentioned that jobs at the legal profession are now requiring specific backgrounds and skills such as language skills. Generally, lawyers start as clerks then advance to junior partner, then senior partner and finally the highest ranks are law professors or judges. Daniel also said that the advancement potential depends on the size of the law firm. So if the firm were small, it would be difficult to move from

The legal sector in the United States is changing along with many other industries. The law profession itself has become more separated from the “mega” law firms and the small locally owned ones; partnerships have become much more

Sometimes people don't want to go the extra mile...and there might be some reasons why.

The case in favour of diversity within the legal profession is incredibly strong. As Robert J. Grey JR, a partner at law firm Hunton & Williams argues, “diversity is a critical element of our society” . The reasoning for this has been illustrated in a blog post published by ‘Aspiring Solicitors’. It states how “diversity in the legal profession plays a very important role in regard to formulating new approaches and tactics”. This suggests that by bringing individuals together from different backgrounds and with diverse views, it could lead to more innovative ways of thinking. As a result, it may
