| Publisher Description: Build a legal career in one of the hottest 21st century employment areas In his 21st Century Legal Career Series, Richard L. Hermann researches, evaluates, and predicts where the employment opportunities are and will be for law graduates. Volume 9, The Education Sector: Overwhelmed by the Law, demonstrates how the tectonic shifts American education is experiencing bode very well for legal employment. Due to a variety of factors including, technology, dissatisfaction with dismal academic results, runaway tuition costs, and regulatory complexity, education is undergoing creative destruction that is throwing over old ways of doing things while creating new opportunities in both mainstream legal venues and JD Advantage realms. Look for continuing increases in attorney involvement at the K-12 level as the legal needs of school districts are growing rapidly. As affordable education disappears for millions of Americans, much of higher education is going to have to change its business model. Anytime sea changes are in the offing, attorneys prosper because major directional changes always mean more legislation, regulations, court actions and more of everything lawyers are trained to do. The Education Sector explores how to take advantage of these and an avalanche of future employment opportunities. Highlights include: -What Constitutes the Education Sector? -Why Is the Education Sector So Hot? -Who Hires-K-12 -Who Hires-Campus Administration -Who Hires-U.S. Government -Who Hires-A Brief Introduction to Law Teaching Positions -What Does It Pay? -Breaking into the Education Sector -Finding Out About Education Sector Law Jobs Before Everyone Else Increasing reliance on technology represents an enormous change in the way schools must organize themselves and do business. Attorneys will be heavily involved in nurturing these transitions. The increasing complexity of campus life mandates that many legal and law-related staff functions need more specialized attention. This has resulted in a trend toward breaking out certain specialized legal and law-related activities from the campus counsel's office. These are often JD Advantage jobs. Hermann focuses on what law students and lawyers need to know to build a fulfilling career in the education sector. |
