Potential Occupation Related to Sports Medicine

I’ve always been interested in people’s injuries, especially since my mother is a medical-malpractice lawyer. There were times when I would come downstairs and sneak into her office to see the pictures that were laid out on her desk of the mistakes that doctors had made. On rare occasions, she was called upon to investigate cases of athletes who’s team physicians had not properly treated their injuries, and had permanent damage as a result. I think I would like to be a defense attorney when I grow up, and although it’s not exactly the same this as a medical-malpractice lawyer, I’m interested in all different types of law.

Medical-malpractice lawyers and personal-injury attorneys have to investigate all aspects of their cases. They also have to ensure that they are helping their clients move on with their lives and achieve the best possible result. These investigation require them to have knowledge of anatomic structures, and how trauma impacts the body. I think it would be interesting to have to combine knowledge of both medicine and the human body with law. I would also really like to help people move on with their lives.

In order to pursue this career, I would need to go to college and then apply to and attend law school. After law school, I would need to sit in on some cases in court and hopefully get hired by a law firm, where I would learn more procedure and tactics. I would also need to further my knowledge of anatomy and injuries, because this job requires both fields to be combined. If I didn’t go to a law firm, I would probably need to find a more experienced lawyer who could help me learn the things about law that aren’t covered in law school and to further develop my knowledge and perception of law. Personal injury lawyers often have a bad reputation, but if I were to be one I would make sure that I was always honest and only represent people who had actually been injured and who needed their life back.
