Salary:

individuals. I truly enjoy both the work that I do and the people

Suggestions for students:
1. Resume--Keep your resume to one page in length and include only
essential, pertinent information in it.
2. Interview--Wear a blue or black suit and be yourself.
3. Work Culture--Visit your potential employer and get a good
feel for the company's work environment.
Miscellaneous comments:
I never expected that a math degree would prepare me so well for
a legal career, but it has done exactly that. The problem-solving
skills and logical reasoning process taught as part of the math curriculum
provides the fundamental tools to learning and applying the law.
It is interesting to note that a large number of students at the top of
any law school class are math and science majors--that was certainly true
at my school as well. Math classes, like law school classes, teach
students how to think, a very key skill to success. Best of luck
to all those considering a mathematics and/or legal career.
