Job Outlook for Attorney
Powered by Glassdoor Economic ResearchDemand for attorneys remains strong, although competition is high as the number of law school graduates exceeds the number of open positions each recruiting cycle. While law firms still hire the majority of law school graduates, pressure to cut costs has led many clients to shift business away from law firms to their own in-house counsel teams. Because of this trend, in the next decade, an increasing number of attorneys will likely be employed directly by financial services and consumer goods firms. Prospective attorneys must hold a Juris Doctorate degree and pass their state’s bar exam.
