Pros

Great trial experience. The opportunity to get hands on experience working in the courtroom and with client face to face. The attorneys there are incredibly bright and very dedicated. You have the opportunity to manage your own caseload.

Cons

Long hours at times, can be stressful and a little overwhelming. Your client's life is in your heads. There aren't a lot of support staff so often times you spend more time acting your own secretary instead of practicing law and working up your client's case.
