Which is better: criminal law or corporate law?

Best Answers

Beginning corporate law lawyers on average do work longer hours than most beginning criminal law lawyers. This is because if you work in criminal law you usually start in government/public jobs like a prosecutor or public defender's office where there is no motivation to generate profits based on charging clients by the hour. read more

You also have lives at stake so the stress is great. Criminal lawyers can make a lot of money, but many do not. Corporate lawyers tend to work very long hours. Don't confuse business with law. Corporate lawyers are not necessarily involved in the business decisions of the corporation. The work they do is very document intensive. read more

A corporate lawyer can be a lawyer who is employed by a corporation or a private attorney who handles corporate issues. Pay will vary as well. I can't speak for the stress level, but I think it's safe to assume that those with 9-5 jobs are not as stressed as those who work more than 40 hours. read more
