Attorney Jobs in Tennessee

An Attorney, also known as a Lawyer, plays a crucial role in the legal industry by providing professional legal advice, interpreting and applying laws, and representing individuals, corporations, and government agencies in court disputes and negotiations. They draft and file legal documents such as lawsuits, appeals, contracts, deeds, and wills. Attorneys might also specialize in certain areas of law such as criminal law, family law, civil rights law, environmental law, or tax law. They must have a comprehensive understanding of legal theories and be able to effectively use laws and precedents to assist their clients.

Attorneys must have a Juris Doctor (JD) degree from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA), and they must pass their state's bar exam to be certified to practice law. Their work requires excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, research, and public speaking skills. Prior to becoming an attorney, individuals may have roles such as a Law Clerk, Paralegal, or Legal Intern, to gain practical experience in the legal field. These roles often involve conducting legal research, drafting legal documents, and assisting attorneys in preparing for trials and hearings.
