If you want something that’s both exciting and rewarding, pursue any criminal defense careers. Whether you are in the public or private sector, there are varied job options that you can avail yourself of. Of course, these options may be limited by the size of the organization, field of specialization and your expertise.
Criminal defense lawyers who have undergone extensive trial experiences can focus on DUI, DWI, disorderly conduct, kidnapping, domestic violence, weapon crimes, felonies, murder, parole violations, arrest warrants, bail hearings, or summonses.
You can specialize in cases involving white collar criminal defense. Usually, big law firms have a division that caters to this area of specialization. If you want, you can also legally represent corporate clients against the Securities and Exchange Commission maybe or even the US attorney’s offices. Fraud, embezzlement, price-fixing, racketeering, and bribery are some of the other cases that you may also get to handle. The pay rate of white collar criminal defense attorneys is much higher compared to the other civil litigation attorneys.
Appellate law is another field of law that you can venture in. Appellate attorneys conduct appellate research, present oral arguments, and prepare records and briefs. There are many cases that are under the jurisdiction of appellate law, and there’s also a good amount of money here.
