Becoming a big time lawyer / judge

<< < (3/3)

Eriny:
With law being quite a general degree - yes, I think that's the case. Lots of people who never want to be lawyers seem to do it. Also, having a working knowledge of the legal system can be useful for a lot of non-law careers. And of course, the more popular a degree gets, the more pressure there is to go further with it. I'm not sure how many people get masters in law, I'm sure ninwa would be in a better position to comment on it, but it could potentially be useful depending on your area of interest.

Additionally, even if judges go to fancy schools and such like, it doesn't mean that a regular public school person could never be one. If you go into law, it seems likely to me that you'd make most of your law contacts in uni anyway (unless you have family contacts). Women and minorities ordinarily do have to work a lot harder than upper-middle class white men, but it doesn't mean that it can't happen. And indeed, as ninwa pointed out, there are already cases where it has.
