Description

Build a legal career in one of the hottest 21st century employment arenas! In his 21st Century Legal Career Series, Richard L. Hermann researches, evaluates, and predicts where the employment opportunities are and will be for law graduates. Volume 12, JD Advantage Jobs in Corporations: Expanding the Legal Function, examines in detail the impressive range and growing diversity of JD Advantage jobs in corporations open to individuals with a law degree. As a rule, corporations do not hire new graduates for their in-house counsel offices. Instead, they favor lateral candidates with a few years of experience. What few law students realize is this should not deter them from including corporations in their job-search strategy. Since the late 1970s, U.S. companies have embarked on an expansion of their legal hiring to include thousands of attorneys who work in JD Advantage positions in corporate offices and roles other than their traditional, mainstream legal office(s). Volume 12 focuses on the corporate departments that hire a substantial number of law grads for JD Advantage positions including: Compliance, Due Diligence, Ethics, Risk Management, Technology Commercialization, Real Estate. Highlights include: - Why Are Corporate JD Advantage Jobs So Hot? - Selected JD Advantage Job Titles and Work Environments - A Look at JD Advantage-Heavy Industries - Positioning Yourself for a Corporate JD Advantage Job - What Do Corporate JD Advantage Jobs Pay? - Advance Notice of Corporate JD Advantage Opportunities - A Word About Nonprofit Corporations The demand for JD Advantage lawyers in U.S. corporations is escalating because of: Complexity. The world is not becoming simpler to understand and negotiate. Globalization. Interconnectedness across borders is the new normal. Technology. Innovation and its frequent consequence, "creative destruction," are increasing. Turmoil. Uncertainty and unpredictability have rocked the corporate comfort zone. Track Record. Company executives have come to realize the attorneys they hire for these law-related jobs are smart, analytical, articulate, and hard workers. Hermann shows candidates where to look for JD Advantage jobs in corporations based on the author's 30-plus years advising JDs who successfully transitioned from law school and mainstream law to JD Advantage positions.
