Attorneys Who Understand the Value of Education
The process of becoming a licensed attorney in the state of Connecticut undoubtedly requires a significant level of education. In order to become an attorney in the state, a person must complete an undergraduate program as well as earn a Juris Doctorate degree, which generally takes 7 years. In addition, upon graduating from graduating from law school, and aspiring lawyer must still pass the bar exam, a two-day test covering a variety of areas of law.
While a person who has completed the hurdles outlined above may be able to call himself or herself an attorney, a lawyer’s education is never really complete. Each area of law is highly specialized, and one could devote an entire career to learning the practice of a very narrow field.
The attorneys of Polito & Harrington understand this fact and are committed to staying abreast of changes in the law and helping other aspiring attorneys gain a thorough understanding of legal issues and practice techniques that will help them throughout their legal careers.
