The Role Of Litigation Associates In Legal Services

Litigation associates play a crucial role in providing professional legal services across various practice areas. As lawyers giving depth to their craft through trial experiences either inside or out of courtrooms; litigation associates are often involved with ensuring that every client receives equal representation regardless of their social status or position within society.

What Does A Litigation Associate Do?

Many litigation associates worldwide specialize in specific fields while others might have experience in different areas of the law. However, their primary duty involves representing clients before arbitration panels and state or federal courts. These duties may vary, but frequently include case investigation, client counseling, drafting pleadings/motions, legal research/writing, conducting pre-trial discovery work like depositions and interrogatories among others.

Becoming A Litigation Associate

Becoming a litigation associate requires an extensive academic and professional background in law. An aspiring litigator should complete a bachelor’s degree in a related field such as political science, economics or history to have an appreciation of civic responsibility and social justice issues.

Candidates seeking entry into graduate law programs must sit for LSAT (Law School Admission Test). Upon completion of jurisprudence studies for about three years, passing a bar examination is crucial in becoming licensed to practice law in most states worldwide.
