<p>Do all lawyers have to argue in the courtroom?
I am not much of a public speaker, but I do have a strong sense of supporting justice.I am a college freshman, and still indecisive about my future aspirations.I am looking toward a career in which I can help a community of disabled patients - and since I am fairly competent in writing, I considered law. Psychology was my second choice, but I heard they don't make much money...Psychiatry, I also considered, but I am not much of a math/science person, and I don't think I'll survive medical school.</p>
<p>I would love to study law if I could have a career in which I don't have to constantly argue my case in a courtroom setting. Is there a name for such a career? I am a hard worker, just not much of a talker.</p>
<p>Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated.</p>
<p>There are many types of lawyers who don’t have to go to the courtroom to argue cases. It is all dependent on the type of law you practice.
If you don’t want to go the law school route, you could always become a paralegal.</p>
<p>No, many lawyers do not argue in the court room. In fact, there are more lawyers doing work that reguire no arguing in the court room than those that do. The ones that do are usually called trial lawyers.</p>
<p>Thank you, liek0806 and Christian2.
If I wanted to improve conditions for the handicapped (employment opportunities, education, safety etc) what branch of law would I have to pursue? Or for law school, do I have to learn all formats of law, not just a specific sector?
What is the term for lawyers who don’t speak in the courtroom (so I can do more research about it haha) Is there a word for lawyers who work with the disabled?</p>
<p>Sorry for asking so many questions :/</p>
