Adam’s Answer

I am a lawyer who switched careers early on. (Not all law-school graduates make a career of practicing law; when I went to law school 20 years ago, it was already common enough for law graduates to leverage their degrees in other fields for the career development office to create non-traditional career development sub-team.)

When I practiced law, I dealt with trust and estates and tax law. You'd be surprised how much writing a will or figuring out a tax code utilizes the same problem-solving techniques as developing a computer program!

I am now an IT business systems analyst for the legal department of a global leader in medical technology. When the company's legal folks need the company's developers or data architects to solve a problem for them, I am the go-between between the two.

Esmeralda’s Answer

I am not currently a lawyer, but I do help self-representing litigants (those who don't have a lawyer) in completing and filing their forms. I think that the biggest problem I have encountered when working with the litigants is not taking the emotions home with me. I have heard some hard and difficult stories when working with the litigants, but I have to remind myself not to let it affect me outside of my work. I overall truly enjoy this work and if you are truly passionate about it then I think any obstacle you face will not matter because in the end it will be worth it.
