What Do Lawyers Do?

From LSAC Forums:

A panel of attorneys representing a diverse cross-section of practice areas will
inform participants about the profession. Panelists will describe their career
paths and offer details on the skills needed to represent clients effectively.
This panel will be especially helpful to participants who do not know practicing
lawyers.
