Attorney ???

Question

As a Attorney, how many years of law school would you have to complete and have anyone heard of a Malpractice Attorney ??? What is their Career ???

Answer 1

I've been an attorney for more than eighteen years; so my advice might be based on outdated information. When I was researching law schools to determine which to attend, there were a couple which did not absolutely require applicants to have bachelor's degrees.

One might be able to complete law school in two and one-half years by attending summer school; however, I recommend not doing that unless you have a very special and overriding need to finish law school as quickly as possible. In all likelihood, you will benefit more by working in the law during the summer rather than attending summer school.

It is not absolutely necessary to attend or graduate from law school. There are a couple of states, one of which is Washington, which have clerkship programs: one trains to be an attorney by apprenticing ones self to a judge or practicing attorney. The downside is that you might not be able to practice law in a state which doesn't have a clerkship program because such states require graduation from an A.B.A. accredited law school for admission to the bar.

There are many malpractice attorneys. They practice in the area of professional malpractice. Probably most of them practice in medical malpractice, suing or defending physicians; however, there are many who also practice in legal malpractice, suing or defending attorneys.

Answer 2

law school takes three years. you have to have a bachelors degree and take the LSAT exam to apply. You also have to register with the law school admissions counsel.
A malpractice attorney is just an area of specialty. When you go to law school, you don't have a major. You just have certain required classes you need to pass and then a specified number of electives past those core classes. So to become an attorney who specializes in malpractice defense or prosecution, you want to try to clerk for a lawyer in that field in your second and third years. You want to make sure to take health care law, insurance law and participate in moot court teams, arbitration classes and client counseling and negotiation.

Answer 3

You have to complete 3 years. You get EITHER your LL.B. or your JD. (LL.B.s are pretty much a european thing these days.) You must also get your bachelor's degree - in ANY field. As for a "malpractice" attorney, that is just an attorney who takes on professional malpractice cases such as medical malpractice and attorney's malpractice litigations.

Answer 4

First you need a Bachelors degree (4 years), then you can go to law school. If you attend law school full-time, it will take you three years to get thru that. And then forever to pay off student loans.

Answer 7

An attorney at law (or attorney-at-law) in the United States is a practitioner in a court of law who is legally qualified to prosecute and defend actions in such court on the retainer of clients. Alternative terms include counselor (or counsellor-at-law) and lawyer.

A lawyer is a person who practices law, as a barrister, judge, attorney, counsel (counselor at law) or solicitor.[1] Working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of those who hire lawyers to perform legal services.

The role of the lawyer varies greatly across legal jurisdictions, and so it can be treated here in only the most general terms.

In practice, legal jurisdictions exercise their right to determine who is recognized as being a lawyer. As a result, the meaning of the term "lawyer" may vary from place to place.[4]

In Australia, the word "lawyer" is used to refer to both barristers and solicitors (whether in private practice or practicing as corporate in-house counsel).
In Canada, the word "lawyer" only refers to individuals who have been called to the bar or, in Quebec, have qualified as civil law notaries. Common law lawyers in Canada are formally and properly called "barristers and solicitors", but should not be referred to as "attorneys", since that term has a different meaning in Canadian usage. However, in Quebec, civil law advocates (or avocats in French) often call themselves "attorney" and sometimes "barrister and solicitor" in English.
In England and Wales, "lawyer" is used to refer to persons who provide reserved and unreserved legal activities and includes practitioners such as barristers, attorneys, solicitors, registered foreign lawyers, patent attorneys, trade mark attorneys, licensed conveyancers, public notaries, commissioners for oaths, immigration advisers and claims management services. The Legal Services Act 2007 defines the "legal activities" that may only be performed by a person who is entitled to do so pursuant to the Act. 'Lawyer' is not a protected title.
In South Asia, the term "lawyer" is often colloquially used, but the official term is "advocate" as prescribed under the Advocates Act, 1961.[5]
In Scotland, the word "lawyer" refers to a more specific group of legally trained people. It specifically includes advocates and solicitors. In a generic sense, it may also include judges and law-trained support staff.
In the United States, the term generally refers to attorneys who may practice law. It is never used to refer to patent agents[6] or paralegals.[7] In fact, there are regulatory restrictions on non-lawyers like paralegals practicing law.[8]
Other nations tend to have comparable terms for the analogous concept..........Divorce attorney in Rockford IL
