How much does a lawyer get paid a year?, and what are the requirements?


How much does a lawyer get paid a year?, and what are the requirements?

You have to pass the state bar exam in your state. Requirements vary, but generally include getting a doctorate in law (jurisprudence).

Many get paid on a "commission" basis for their cases - a percentage of whatever fees they bring in.

Generally, more than they are worth.

Lawyers do not have a set rate of pay. The only ones on salaries are associates in a firm; i.e. they are employed by a law firm.

It varies by specialty, city/state, and years in the industry. I have posted a link below from payscale.com. If you are interested, you can create a more specific profile for your needs.

As far as background, 6-8 years of college (again, depending on your specialty) plus passing the state bar.

Good luck; hope this helps.
