"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing." — Abraham Lincoln to Isham Reavis, November 5, 1855.

So you’re finished with law school, you’ve conquered the bar and, if you’re lucky, landed a job in a field of your interest, or just a job, period. Next up: Become a great lawyer, find your niche and leave your mark in the legal community. Some questions should cross your mind at some point, if they haven’t already. What will you focus on as your niche? Do you even need one? In my opinion, developing your successful niche is basically about developing a personal brand, something to distinguish yourself among your colleagues. Therefore, if you want to be remembered and recognized as an attorney, finding your niche is an important endeavor.
