Top 10 Trending #Legal #Careers !

Posed: 04/15/2015 3:04 pm EDT Updated: 04/15/2015 3:59 pm EDT

\For several years, one of the biggest shifts in the legal job market is the steady demand for specialized expertise. The career potential is high for skilled talent with industry or practice-area specialization. Both employers and clients are looking for efficiencies and value found in subject matter experts.

According to a Robert Half Legal survey, 60% of lawyers said their organizations have experienced at least some difficulty in finding skilled legal talent.

For law students, the opportunities lie in understanding what's driving the market, identifying a specific career path as well as pursuing course work and experiential learning opportunities that best prepare you to be practice-ready. I recommend adapting to the new era of law by finding your niche within a growing sector.

Here are the top 10 trending practice areas:

1. Healthcare Law 
Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the Healthcare sector has netted more than 1 million new jobs, creating significant opportunities for legal professionals. Career settings can range from hospitals and government agencies to health law practice groups representing corporations, pharmaceutical manufacturers or biotechnology companies. This practice area often intersections with public benefits law, contract law, and civil rights. Policy and casework covers subjects like access to care, insurance coverage, drug safety, ethical choices (usually around beginning and end of life), and embryonic stem cell research. Also, as healthcare management systems become more modernized and technical, legal expertise will be even more in need.

2. E-Discovery
E-discovery, or electronic discovery, is now a $2 billion industry driven by the mass storage and accessibility of electronic data - a career that didn't even exist 10 years ago. Critical in litigation support, e-discovery processionals identify, collect, process, review, preserve and produce electronically stored information (ESI). In this digital age, ESI can include e-mail, search history and social media posts. This intersection of information technology and the legal process is invaluable to tech-challenged clients and counselors.

3. Immigration Law
From serving in a traditional law practice setting, government agency, or legal service program, the demand for immigration lawyers is growing rapidly. Governmental policies are being debated daily and understanding how these laws affects foreign nationals with respect to civil liberties, labor issues, litigation, and human rights advocacy, is complex and critical. This specialization covers forms-based practice as well as litigation.

Every person embarking on a job search thinks they have all the bases covered: resume, cover letter and good references. But many forget about one important concern: their digital footprint.

In today’s connected world, your online activities are only one small search away. Everything you do online has the possibility of being seen by a potential employer.

Not only can employers see what you get up to in your free time (and however scandalous that may be), they can also find out about the your work attitudes and consider how suitable for the job you are.

As more companies turn to researching their candidates online, it’s more important for job seekers to understand their online presence as well as how to improve it.

Here are seven tips for optimizing your digital footprint. (Click here to tweet this list.)

1. Search for yourself

The first step to evaluating and improving your online presence is to learn what other people see when they look for you online. Go to the most popular search engines and search your name — preferably the name you list on your resume or job applications.

What results are returned? Are they positive? Is there anything that needs to be remedied?

2. Change your privacy settings

Many social networks’ default privacy settings are set to public. The settings you choose will most likely be on a case-to-case basis. Maybe you want to fully protect your personal Facebook page while keeping your professional Twitter account available publicly, for example.

Go through each of your profiles and adjust the privacy settings accordingly.

3. Write compelling bios

Most social network sites have a space to write a short bio of yourself. Make these as professional as possible and include keywords relevant to your industry or the types of jobs you’re looking for. Keep it short, sweet, professional and interesting.

“Respect your efforts, respect yourself.  Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.” Clint Eastwood.  

Seemingly this formula worked well for Clint Eastwood in his career and if you want to be better respected at your job, it can work for you too.

Take a moment to conjure up what work would be like if your colleagues, bosses, subordinates and clients treated you more respectfully.  Do you envision more money?  Do you envision more fulfilling relationships with these individuals?
