<p>can somebody please explain to me what an international lawyer does. it sounds really exciting to me, but no matter how much research i do, i cant figure out what exactly they do.</p>
<p>Also, how competitive and saturated is it? im a good student, but not the best (3.3 gpa at a top 25 liberal arts school. 2120 SAT). would i need to go to a top law school to be an international lawyer?</p>
<p>Lastly, how does someone become one? obviously you'd have to go to law school, but how do you specialize?</p>
<p>ok, no offense, but people need to stop posting their SAT scores on the law school forum. Only LSAT scores matter. PERIOD.</p>
<p>And to answer your question, virtually every area of law is saturated. I strongly advise you so read some of the law school scam blogs, such as Third Tier Reality and First Tier Toilet.</p>
<p>i know sat’s dont matter, but i just listed them cause im years away from my lsat and i was just trying to give an idea of what kind of student i am</p>
<p>International law usually involves dealing with corporations trying to do business overseas and evaluating the relevant law which governs their contracts.</p>
<p>For example, American companies are not allowed to offer bribes to foreign officials, which in many cases makes it basically impossible to do business in a particular country. Many companies try to establish “distributors” – either as subsidiaries or as third-party contractors – to help them do business there. They have to comply with American law, local law, and possibly some trade agreements in this work.</p>
<p>This is just one example. There’s lots of similar questions.</p>
