Moving From Theory to Practice: Combining Work and Study in the Legal Profession Artem Toropov Legal Assistant White & Case LLC Higher School of Economics 13 April 2007

White & Case LLC 13 April Combining Work and Study in the Legal Profession Principal reasons to combine work and study  Legal education in Russia today does not give students the sufficient opportunity to acquire practical skills and expertise  Graduates without work experience in the legal profession have limited employment opportunities

White & Case LLC 13 April Combining Work and Study in the Legal Profession Negotiations with the prospective employer  Determine your academic schedule in advance and find out how it fits the employer’s requirements.  Negotiate your work schedule during exam periods; specify when your academic workload is at its heaviest and lightest.  When devising your work schedule, do not make commitments you clearly will be unable to meet or undertake obligations that infringe on your academic interests (e.g., a full workday for a full-time student).

White & Case LLC 13 April Combining Work and Study in the Legal Profession Organizing your studies  Legal training at the university is your priority even though you have started working in the legal profession.  Do not cite pressure at work as an excuse for not meeting academic requirements.  Use quiet periods at work to visit libraries and conduct legal research: you may not have the time later.  Try to take part in legal competitions and to attend specialized courses – but only to the extent your schedule permits.

White & Case LLC 13 April Combining Work and Study in the Legal Profession Organizing your work process  Take your workplace assignments seriously.  Be accessible to your colleagues – by phone, , etc. This is particularly important when you are absent from the office because you are in class.  Be predictable. Your academic tasks should not be a surprise to your colleagues: give advance warning.

White & Case LLC 13 April Combining Work and Study in the Legal Profession Advantages of combining work and studies  Opportunity to apply legal knowledge you have gained in law school.  Work with recognized legal professionals.  Opportunity to research, in law school, the legal matters you encounter at work.  Opportunity to gain a comprehensive view of the legal profession; acquisition of professional skills.

White & Case LLC 13 April Combining Work and Study in the Legal Profession Drawbacks of combining work and studies in the legal profession  Less time to devote to studies  Less leisure time

White & Case LLC 13 April Combining Work and Study in the Legal Profession Conclusions  Combining work and study is an attractive, but not the only way to attain success in the legal profession.  The wrong priorities could adversely affect your academic results.  A successful combination of study and work is possible when you strike the right balance between your objectives at work and in law school.
