Editor’s note: Boies Schiller Flexner partner Stephen Zack was honored last week with the 2023 Law Firm Leadership Award by the Hispanic National Bar Foundation. Zack was the first Hispanic president of the Florida Bar and also of the American Bar Association. At the dinner event in Washington, D.C., he spoke to Hispanic high school students interested in a career in law about the past, present and future of the legal profession, and this Q&A column is about that speech and more.

As I prepared these remarks, I wondered: What would I say that would be of any interest to 35 upstanding high school students thinking about being lawyers? While I won’t bore you with a long speech, I’d like to share the answers to the questions I most commonly receive from young people and law students about the legal profession.
