  1. Attorney Josh Denzler 1/21/09 3rd Hour CTF

  2. Introduction BANG! BANG! BANG! Went the judge’s gavel. “Order in the court!” he yelled. The defendant is hereby pronounced guilty as charged. A small murmur goes through the crowd and the D.A. is ecstatic. This is my dream to a lawyer, specifically a prosecutor. I became interested in this field by realizing I want nothing more than to see criminals put away, and this job is a safe. Well-paid way to do so. For this presentation, I researched the nature of work, working conditions, education, job outlook, earnings, and related occupations. If everything works out, I will have made a decision on this matter.

  3. Nature of Work • Attorneys: • Defend clients • Gather evidence • Present evidence in court • Specialize in either bankruptcy, probate, international, elder, or environmental law • Consult with clients or potential witnesses

  9. Summary After reviewing this career, I still would like to do it. Attorneys make pretty good money. The working conditions are very acceptable. I just wish the hours were slightly smaller. This provided me with a positive learning experience that taught me a great deal about attorneys and the lifestyle they live. This career is a good way to live. It allows me to debate and potentially take down an opponent. It is like fighting using your words, and can help the innocent, it is truly a great thing.
