Me in a minute
Years on still I believe that the right combination of logic, passion, daring and strategic thinking helps equally in court cases and everywhere else
My first degree was not law, it was applied mathematics. However, quite soon after graduation I realised that I need more extravert profession with lots of communication and emotions. However a passion to structure everything logically still dominates my approach to work (and everything else).
I remember discussing that I wished to become a lawyer with various people I met in my mid 20's and the range of answers ranged from 'it is too late' to 'this may be a good idea, but surely math is less boring'.I decided that a pure law degree was not enough, a combination of law and language should be more challenging. I qualified as a Russian advocate and as an English Solicitor Advocate and years on still believe that a right combination of logic, passion, daring and strategic thinking helps equally in court cases and everywhere else.
