Questions about employment law as a career

I had intentions on pursuing a career in HR, but I’m having second thoughts after an internship I just had. I was disgusted by the fact that HR is generally either useless at best or at worst against employee rights, thus I am considering a career in employment litigation. I have a plethora of questions, so please answer any that you can.

Do you feel that your job actually makes the world a better place?

Do you find your job to be personally fulfilling?

What is the worst part of the job?

Does it involve lots of case law and research?

How much math is involved?

How competitive is the job market? Do you have to attend a prestigious law school for a decent job?

Would having a friendly/agreeable personality be helpful? Including both interactions with clients, opposing counsel and in the court room in general.

Is it true that employment law is more “people focused” than other fields of law?

Do you have to be a socialist/labor organizer to be an employment lawyer? I know it may sound silly, but that is the impression I get from labor lawyers.

These are matters of practical experience. No one can master service/labour law by mere academic learning.

Seek guidance of a local tutor / coach / counsellor.

Yes. You can consult your tutor as no legal issue is involved in the query.

Many thanks. It helps me so much.

Firstly, I don't think that there's any need to attend a prestigious college or university in order to get a good job. Second, yes, it involves lots of cases and research work. And for the rest you should consult a counselor for better understanding.

Hello!

Let's address your questions one by one:

Do you feel that your job makes the world a better place? As an employment lawyer, you have the opportunity to advocate for employee rights and ensure fair treatment in the workplace.

Do you find your job to be personally fulfilling? Personal fulfillment can vary from person to person, but many employment lawyers find satisfaction in helping individuals seek justice and navigate complex employment issues.

What is the worst part of the job? The challenges of being an employment lawyer can include handling emotionally charged situations, balancing multiple cases, and working with tight deadlines.

Does it involve a lot of case law and research? Yes, employment law involves a significant amount of case law research.

How much math is involved? Mathematics is generally not a significant component of employment law.

How competitive is the job market? The competitiveness of the job market may vary depending on factors such as the geographical location and the demand for employment lawyers in that area.

Do you have to attend a prestigious law school for a decent job? Attending a prestigious law school can open up certain opportunities but is not the sole determinant of career success.

Would having a friendly/agreeable personality be helpful? Having strong interpersonal skills, including being friendly and agreeable, can be an asset in any legal career.

Is it true that employment law is more "people-focused" than other fields of law? Employment law does have a strong focus on people and the relationships within the workplace.

Do you have to be a socialist/labor organizer to be an employment lawyer? You do not have to be a socialist or a labor organizer to pursue a career in employment law.
