<p>Does anybody know what type of preparation I should go through as a transfer UG. As well, what schools specialize in civil rights law, do you specifically have to get an LL.M to practice civil rights law since it's a concentration, do you know how much civil rights lawers get paid, and anything else would be great. Thanks.</p>
<p>there is no course of study specaific to civil right law, although courses that are more constitutionally based (crim. law, First Amend. law) are "musts". </p>
<p>Civil rights lawyers, as a rule, are at the lower end of the pay scale. Most often they work for the ACLU or other indigent law programs.</p>
<p>concerneddad,</p>
<p>Mind to provide an estimate of the scale. If Civil Rights laywers are at the bottom...who's in the middle, and top? Thanks. Oh! and sorry for the threadjack!</p>

<p>I don't think most civil rights lawyers are out there for the money. They're out there for a cause for which they strongly believe. A better reason for a career choice if you ask me.</p>
<p>There are civil rights attorneys who work for non-profits like the NAACP, and who are paid a modest salary. There are also attorneys who handle employment cases on a contingency basis, who might be thought of as practicing civil rights law, and who make substantially more.</p>
