The Three Pathways to Success at JC Law
JC Law is innovative and team member-centric. One of the most important aspects of developing your career is understanding the most advantageous way to get to where you want to be! We have found that obviously, not all lawyers love to do the same type of work. Some love to simply be the best possible practicing lawyer they can be and excel in their trade. This path usually excludes the function of acquiring new clients, new business, or supervising other lawyers, but excels in the deep metric of becoming the best-practicing attorney one can become.
On the other hand, many of us love the idea of bringing new clients into the fold and being rewarded accordingly. Likewise with the thought process of supervising and managing the firm.
The point is, JC Law has created a pathway for each type of lawyer who wishes to excel by doing what they believe their particular set of skills are.
After a period of time, you must choose your path or paths. The idea is that as personal service leaders, we put the maximum amount of energy into what you believe will produce the best results for you and the firm. Teaching and instruction are a fundamental way of creating a lawyer with these technical skills that are not offered in law schools. These pathways and teaching modalities are life-long practices that enhance a lawyer’s career and personal life.

What We Are Looking For
Must Have a Very Strong
Work Ethic
Most firms, including us, will look at your history to make a determination as to how you will perform in the future. We realize that is not always the case, especially as lawyers grow and mature into the profession. A strong GPA, Law Review or something equivalent, top class ranking, all are indicators of future success in a career and practice.
Have a Winning Attitude
A winning attitude and functioning under pressure are extremely important. Law school and the practice of law tend to show how you will handle the same. Working with others, and putting elbow grease into the equation, is a sign that you want to help your client succeed.
Effort Over & Beyond
We are looking for future senior lawyers and partners. How you handle yourself at an early stage will set the tone and possibilities for advancement!
Know How to Organize & Communicate
These are traits that cannot be overstated. In our profession this is what we do! Everything we touch, try to fix and work on utilizes these skill sets!
Writing Ability
This is one of the foundations for growing a career. There is no substitute for developing this ability. Not all of us are fantastic writers, but the important thing is that we make major efforts to improve and reach a proficient level!
Culture & Success Driven
Finding a way to help others and being a team player will set you apart from other lawyers in our industry. At the same time, having a winning drive and a non-stop attitude of creating success will also help create a practicing habit that is unstoppable!
