You can learn about the law in a classroom, but being a lawyer requires a sense for people and business that you can't learn in school. Students can be late or crabby or clueless without serious repercussions, but when you're a lawyer, your actions affect other people's lives. You need to develop and maintain good relationships with clients, staff and judges, who will have little tolerance for your learning curve. Start your new career off right by avoiding these rookie mistakes.
