The legal field offers many jobs and career opportunities encompassing a wide range of skills, experience, and interests. We all share the goal of increasing the number of diverse and underrepresented groups who enter into the law but growth and success within the profession is equally important. Integral to growth is the awareness of all the various roles available to help you thrive and maintain an interest in your career.
