Carolina Criminal Defense & DUI Lawyer UpdatesLife as a lawyer is tough. Sometimes it’s downright unfair. And finding that first job may come with some big-time, unexpected hard truths. Newly licensed attorney jobs in North Carolina are not guaranteed merely because you graduated from law school or passed the bar examination.
I am not saying that to discourage newly licensed lawyers. Quite the contrary. I have devoted much of my professional career to legal education and the advancement of the profession. I have taught and hosted continuing legal education programs, written practical materials, trained lawyers and legal staff, and worked to help younger attorneys develop into capable, ethical advocates. I very much want all lawyers to succeed, new or otherwise.
Sometimes that warrants saying plainly what law schools, career services offices, and social media may not disclose.
