    Perhaps you could start by asking the lawyer why he’s interested with bankruptcy cases; or maybe you must equipped yourself with info about what they do for you to know what are the best questions to ask – try to refrain asking questions which only need common sense. Try this resource: http://porterbrown.co.uk/what-we-do/?s=

    It consist of the things they do.

    Warning! Jobs in the field of Law are drying up FAST!! This is not a good field to invest time and/or money into. This is a SHRINKING vocational field. Many reasons. THE main reason?……We simply have WAY TOO MANY Legal Professionals – we have a GLUT!! (“Legal Professionals” includes, but is not limited to: Attorneys/Lawyers, Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Bailiffs, Court Reporters, etc, etc)

    Regarding being a Legal Assistant: Employers (usually law firms) in the field of Law want employees with BACHELORS degrees. And those “certificates” aren’t worth the paper they are printed on – they are generally scams.

    Even IF you finish law school, you won’t be able to find a job when you are done. Since this vocational field is shrinking, many new attorneys/lawyers are, themselves, having to work “down” as Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Bailiffs, Court Reporters, etc, etc, to simply try to keep some of THEIR bills paid

    Now... the law schools know this, but they won't tell you the truth >that the job market/economy is SATURATED with WAY TOO MANY Legal Professionals. Instead the schools will feed you a fairytale and will LIE to you. AND the schools continue to recruit and churn out even MORE Legal Professionals………….

    If you don’t believe me, then just do a SEARCH here on Yahoo Answers to see what other posters are saying about the current status of the field of Law.

    If you want a JOB with a future, and/or when you are done with your studies, consider and look into the field of HEALTHCARE!

    Good luck.
