Becoming an attorney is a career path that demands hard work, diligence and excellence. Years of schooling, internships, clerking - many say that becoming an attorney is even harder than actually being one. Even experienced attorneys can find it difficult to advance . With so many others competing for the same attorney jobs, getting your foot in the door at a good law firm can be a challenge. While it's easy to say that the key to success is setting yourself apart from the competition, actually doing so isn't quite so easy.
