Careers in law other being a lawyer(?)

nabbiechan:
What other jobs can you get that you can get out of studying law?

I know that you can be a lawyer, a solicitor, a judge, a paralegal or even a teacher who teaches legal studies but what else?

ninwa:
Law degrees are pretty versatile. They are helpful for pretty much anything that's not like, scientific research; a law degree can help you in the commercial, foreign affairs/diplomacy, academic, some kind of advocate, intellectual property, medical negligence... how about you name something and I'll tell you whether a law degree would be useful.

By the way, a solicitor IS a kind of lawyer, just like a surgeon is a kind of doctor. Judges also start out as lawyers.
I don't think paralegals need law degrees.

nabbiechan:
More in relation to commerce side, and that foreign affairs. How about that?

Eriny:
Law is definitely becoming a generalist degree given that way more people graduate with law degrees than there are places at law firms. If you have a commerce degree then it could be useful to get a job in a commerce-y company and have a working knowledge of the legal system. The same is true for foreign affairs, although to what extent I'm not sure. I think it's useful, but beyond that probably not necessary.

aw123:
Would a law degree ever help in terms of media and communications?
