Lawyer Career Working Environment
Lawyers who work for a firm have set hours and comfortable offices. In private practice, hours are more sporadic. In each case, however, about half of all lawyers work more than 40 hours a week. While most work is done in offices, law libraries and courtrooms, lawyers sometimes must travel to meet with clients or talk to witnesses. This might involve visiting a hospital or prison, for instance. Working conditions vary greatly according to the type of law practiced.
Almost all lawyers work year-round. However, tax attorneys are in higher demand at some points of the year.
