Read Chapters 1 & 2From descriptions in Chapter One of
the text, choose two or three different types of legal practices in which you would like to work.
Use #2 assignment at the back of the chapter to help decide your criteria.

For EACH choice, explain why this type of setting and/or work would fit you. In these paragraphs, you are showing ME that you have some understanding of the type of work and work setting which exists in your choice.

Next, for your top choices:look on the internet (some sites are
found in your text, page 40-42, and this should give you an idea of what to look for).
Try Martindale-Hubbell at http://www.martindale.com/ for a reliable lawyer locator or
look in the Yellow Pages under attorneys and then further search on the internet.
Find 3 law firms, businesses or other entities where you would consider further research and interviews.
Give their name, address, telephone number and any other relevant information.
