Attorney Job Outlook: Employment for attorneys is expected to grow due to the increase in the population and business activities. However, the rise in use of paralegals to perform much of the background on legal cases will lower the need for lawyers. Competition between lawyers for job openings is often fierce therefore high quality experience and academic records will be important.
