Having a law career does not mean you have to be a lawyer and now, more than ever, there are multiple opportunities for lawyers who do not seek to practice law but are looking for a law career pathway beyond getting behind a desk with a law firm.

Career opportunities for those with a law degree abound. But for those seeking something other than a legal career, they need to not only consider what law pathway there is beyond the traditional law firm, but also do some analysis of what they are actually looking for in terms of a career.

For instance, a close consideration of your own skills and passions are a key element to developing a job that will combine your legal background with your desire to pursue an area of particular interest. The merger of interests is key to finding the right career opportunity you seek when moving away from (or avoiding in the first place) the law firm or in-house legal role.
