>From Honest Abe to Perry Mason to high-profile defense attorneys on Court-TV, lawyers have been and continue to be American icons. But the American legal profession is much more complex than these stereotypes would suggest, having evolved into specialized fields with diverse opportunities for dedicated individuals.
Almost one million lawyers work to assure the principle of equal justice under law to the people of the United States. The field has grown swiftly in recent decades, with the number of lawyers up by more than 400% since the 1960s.
