I just got married to a man who just graduated from law school. 
Nice, how does he practice, as a paralegal, advocate, barrister, or attorney?
He is an attorney. I must admit that I did not finish college myself, so it was intimidating at first to be with someone who had what it takes to make it through law school!
I understand, working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories which are very difficult to learn!
I'm stunned at the number of things that he can recall without having to look them up. I don't know how anyone can recall things on the spot in a court room
I think thats why lawyers are well paid since they have the knowledge to solve specific individualized problems on the spot.
