Regarding the different types of lawyers, it is important to realize that not all lawyers
practice law. Other lawyers will practice for a few years and then decide to move into a
different industry such as Management Consulting. Remember that all firms are
different, and the focus will generally be determined by the type of work that comes in
the door, but generally the below is accurate:
-The solo practitioner/small law firm = This type of firm is the most general in scope in
terms of the lawyer job description. The majority of smaller firms handle matters for
citizens and small businesses. A solo Practitioner, on a Monday night may sit on the
board of a municipality's zoning board (land use); Tuesday may close a sale of a home
(real estate); Wednesday may file a law suit against an insurance company (litigation);
Thursday may form a corporate entity and close the sale of a pharmacy (commercial
transaction); Friday may appear on a DUI charge (criminal).
-Medium sized law firm =The medium sized law firm will employ more attorneys and
the focus of each attorney will be more specific vs. the smaller law firms. For example,
perhaps a lawyer may be in the Commercial Real Estate group in a law firm and will only
handle commercial real estate matters such as leasing, tax appeals, purchases and sales
of buildings, and financing for purchase of real estate.
-Large law firm = As the size of the firm gets larger, the individual types of lawyers will
focus on much more specific areas. Here a Lawyer may only review leases and never get
exposed to other aspects of commercial real estate let alone other legal professions or
fields of law.
-Boutique law firm = This type of law firm is small, but the types of lawyers who are
employed here are highly sophisticated and highly focused on one area of law. For
example, after 9/11 there were a few boutique law firms who specialized in Aviation law
who worked on compensating victims and family members for their legal claims.

Law schools in the US are part of public or private universities that grant Juris Doctor
(J.D.) degrees. The Juris Doctor program generally lasts three years for full-time students
and four years for part-time students. The first year of law school is generally considered
to be the most difficult because of the core classes, exams, and the Socrates method.
The Socrates method is a method used in most law school classes in which the professor
cold calls on students to state a case or respond to a case-based question. This
intimidates many students, particularly international students, who might be afraid to
speak up in class, but most international students do just fine.
Las escuelas de derecho en los Estados Unidos son parte de universidades públicas o
privadas que otorgan títulos de Juris Doctor (J.D.). El programa Juris Doctor
generalmente dura tres años para estudiantes de tiempo completo y cuatro años para
estudiantes de medio tiempo. El primer año de la escuela de derecho generalmente se
considera el más difícil debido a las clases básicas, los exámenes y el método Sócrates.
El método Sócrates es un método que se usa en la mayoría de las clases de la escuela
de derecho, en el que el profesor llama a los estudiantes para declarar un caso o
responder a una pregunta basada en el caso. Esto intimida a muchos estudiantes,
especialmente a los estudiantes internacionales, que pueden tener miedo de hablar en
clase, pero la mayoría de los estudiantes internacionales lo hacen bien.
