One of the most highly paid professions is law. Lawyers can be of two types advocate and advisers. In advocate law the lawyers take up a case, stand up and speak for their clients in the court, where as for legal advisors the lawyers advise and counsel their clients regarding legal rights and obligations. The career path is very broad to choose from. You can specialize in criminal law where you face opposition and you are the defendant in your case or civil law where you only deal with divorce cases and public relations with no involvement of criminal misconduct. You also have the option to practice the corporate law where multinationals and large corporations hire professionals to advise them on their rights and obligations in business transactions.
Lawyers earn different amount in respect to the kind of law being practiced (criminal, civil, corporate, private practice or firms), the location of the city, and types of clients served and also from previous gained experience. These factors do come into play when deciding your pay, but the growth is within the line of practice, experience and knowledge as you put in more effort and gain these, the quicker your earnings increase.
According to a survey on an average a current practicing lawyer in the States earns about $62,000 - $122,000 a year. So we can say that with great increasing scope of lawyers it has become an established fact now that if you choose this as your future profession there will only be success ahead of you. Yet, it is only very few lawyers who are really successful in Pakistan.
