Advanced law degrees

Advanced law degrees may be desirable for those planning to specialize, perform research, or teach. Some law students pursue joint degree programs, which usually require an additional semester or year of study. Joint degree programs are offered in a number of areas, including business administration or public administration.

After graduation, lawyers must keep informed about legal and nonlegal developments that affect their practices. In 2008, 46 States and jurisdictions required lawyers to participate in mandatory continuing legal education. Many law schools and State and local bar associations provide continuing education courses that help lawyers stay abreast of recent developments. Some States allow continuing education credits to be obtained through participation in seminars on the Internet.

    I respect anyone who devotes themselves to such a demanding field. As far as judging someone in the field, based on their profession, I have to say I would take it on a case by case basis, as with anyone else.

    This is one thing that doesn't surprise me about lawyers, they have professional degrees and every other professional degree has to remain somewhat active.
