Alternative careers for lawyers / non legal careers for lawyers
Perhaps as a result of competition for attorney positions, lawyers are increasingly finding alternative careers in non traditional areas for which legal training is an asset, but not normally a requirement - for example, administrative, managerial, and business positions in banks, insurance firms, real-estate companies, government agencies, and other organisations. Career opportunities for lawyers are expected to continue to arise in these organisations at a growing rate.
As in the past, some graduates may have to accept positions in areas outside of their field of interest or for which they feel overqualified. Some recent law school graduates who have been unable to find permanent positions are turning to the growing number of temporary staffing firms that place lawyers in short-term jobs until they are able to secure full-time positions. This service allows companies to hire lawyers on an "as-needed" basis and permits recent law school graduates to develop practical skills while looking for permanent positions.
