Sample Lawyers
Resume
A slightly different resume format is required when applying for a
lawyer position.
In the lawyers resume example below the applicant has included a
personal section at the beginning of the resume that highlights
experience.
The resume continues with an
emphasis on the courses
the applicant is currently teaching.
This is important if the applicant plans to continue seeking an
academic career rather than a practicing law career.
