One career choice that is always high on the selection list is that of the law. Law is a career choice that has seen glamour, thanks to Hollywood. It also took an influx in the 90’s thanks to the likes of Johnnie Cochrane and Robert Shapiro.
Many people want to enter the field, but some of those without a college degree. Below we are going to look at some opportunities in the legal area that you may not know.
The Mediator
On first glance, yes, it does look like Denzel Washington’s new movie. This is an excellent opportunity for anybody that wants to make a career move into the legal area.
A mediator is incredibly important and can also be an incredibly satisfying job. It is the job of a legal mediator to be a neutral party. When hearing of a case settled out of court, it is the job of the legal mediator to oversee this process while showing no favor or bias to anybody else present.
Although no degree is required for this particular job, taking specific certifications and courses would be a great idea. The more the mediator knows about the law, the more employable they are.
You should also have a calm demeanor about you as calming down irate lawyers from time to time is going to be inevitable.

The beautiful thing about becoming a paralegal is that the qualifications for entry are as simple as finding a paralegal school. This will help you gain your certificate, and you can hopefully get your foot in the door and on your way to career satisfaction in no time at all.
Law Firm Marketer
While not exactly fitting with the others, law firm marketing is becoming ever more popular. This job can even be done on a self-employed basis should you have a small amount of expertise in the legal field.
This job is that of a digital mogul. Your job will be to monitor the online presence of a law company and use the website as a digital advertising board. This can be a highly rewarding career. It is in essence, a specialist form of advertising that combines all forms of marketing tactics.
This is one career choice that can see you on your way to many things, especially as you will be your own boss. One thing that should be considered is gaining as much legal knowledge as possible before attempting this. Otherwise, you are just a digital marketer.
