Is anyone here a lawyer or studying to become one? I want to be a lawyer and I was wondering if it was a good idea to work for one before graduating high school to gain some experience. Has anyone done this? And if so, how did you find the job and did it teach you anything? thanks! I'm a female and I am 16 in NJ.

my sister's in college and over the summer she's going to work for a company to gain "experience" so yeah it's definitely a really good idea. you can tell a bunch of people that you were an awesome lawyer's assistant and people would be more willing to hire you as a lawyer because you gained knowledge about what it's like being a lawyer, etc. (also great for your resumee)
i haven't ever been an assistant for a lawyer, but hopefully my answer above helped you?
