This is such a great breakdown! I personally find the pace of transactional work so much more intense, but it’s nice that the matters conclude in much shorter time frames. I also feel that there are many more opportunities to collaborate with other teams in transactional areas, which I really enjoy.
Thanks to both of you for regularly releasing quality content for the next generation of young associates. Happy you two got to collaborate - keep up the great work.
It would be interesting to see a video how where you go to school affects what kinds of jobs you can get ! For example also considering factors like if you get to your state school with a full ride or half ride is it worth it better than let’s say going to a top 14 or top 30 school. Anyways! Great video
Love your videos! I am currently trying to decide if law school or a mba/macc would be better for me. I plan on starting a construction company and in construction essentially everything ends in either mediation arbitration or litigation. I'm just not sure how much of a benefit it would truley be for me to get a jd and essentially defend my self. Any advice!?
RJ, if the only reason to consider the JD is improving your skills in a dispute context, skip law school. It's tough to convince non-litigators of the truth of this statement, although I'll defend it against anyone ... among things that matter in mediation/arbitration/litigation, the law is fairly far down the list. Disputes get to that point for many other reasons. I'm not saying it's inconsequential, although it's not the primary driver of how to stay out of disputes or how to get them settled. A lot of people down on the MBA, although getting one solely for the value of learning to build your own business seems like a brilliant idea to me!
I am a teen but I want to go down corporate law road in the future. I would love to represent a larger business like a corporation. Would I still go to school for the same type of law if I was going to be representing a tiny small business? Or is their two types of law for what size of business their is. Thx
Law school is a general degree, so you'll learn what litigators learn, as well. In years two and three, you may choose to take courses that fit your focus, although that's up to you. At least, when I was in law school, there was no "major" or specialized type of degree. And, within corporate law, there isn't a specific distinction in what you study or how we talk about what I do vs. what another corporate lawyer does that is based on the size of the company. If it's a non-profit organization, that's considered a different type of law, but not small for-profit company vs. large for-profit company
