The profession of a lawyer is one of the most demanded today. At first glance, everything is simple: get a law degree, get a job and start earning. But not everything is so simple. It is not for nothing that the proverb "The wolf is fed by the legs" is known in lawyers' circles, which has transformed into "The lawyer is fed by the legs."
Necessary
- - higher legal education;
- - examination for qualification in the chamber of law;
- - work experience.
Instructions
Step 1
Before clients start looking for you, you will need to try to earn a reputation and a "name". To open a law practice and start earning money in your specialty, you need to learn as much as possible about this source of income.
Step 2
Undoubtedly, the first step is to obtain a higher legal education. Moreover, the educational institution must undergo state accreditation. Remember that successful study at a prestigious university is the right choice for a future specialist who wants to understand his business.
Step 3
Upon completion of your education, you must complete at least two years of internship with a practicing lawyer. Of course, in this you will need to enlist the help of relatives or a scientific adviser - perhaps they will be able to find a good place for you.
Step 4
You can then take the qualification examination at the Bar Chamber in the form determined by the commission. If you successfully pass the exam, you will receive the status of a lawyer and become a member of the bar association.
Step 5
You can work in any law office, but at the same time in a certain specialization (one branch of law), which you must choose while still at the university.
Step 6
Now it all depends on your knowledge and abilities. When starting to work with clients, you must conclude an agreement with the principal (a type of civil contract). It defines the essence of the legal conflict, the terms of the contract and the cost of your services. The legislation of the Russian Federation does not regulate the prices for lawyer services, nor does it determine the number of cases in production. Therefore, your earnings directly depend on your performance and positive feedback from satisfied customers. At the beginning of your career, you should not dream of large fees, because you must in practice show your skills and talent for doing important things.
