    Question: What does the job description of a lawyer entail?

    Answer: A lawyer's job description depends on what type of focus or specialty the lawyer has in his or her practice. Lawyers work in a myriad of venues such as for the government, for a law firm, for the military, for non-profit organizations or for corporations. Within those different entities, a lawyer may practice medical law, wills and estates, products law, business or coporate law, computer or information technology law, patent law, contract law, consumer law, criminal and the list goes on. Some lawyers spend a great deal of time in court as they are litigators which means that their cases go to trials and hearings. Other lawyers rarely go to court and their practices are considered transactional, meaning that they deal with issues that are negotiated or implemented without the use of the court system. Lawyers deal with a lot of paperwork and often work directly with other lawyers on a daily basis. Many lawyers travel across the country and internationally for depositions and meetings. Most lawyers are on the computer and on the phone a lot as well.
