Overview

Lawyers do most of their work in offices, law libraries, and courtrooms. They sometimes meet in clients’ homes or places of business and, when necessary, in hospitals or prisons. They may travel to attend meetings, gather evidence, and appear before courts, legislative bodies, and other authorities. Proficiency in speaking and writing in the Spanish language is vital to a practicing lawyer today.

The benefits of speaking Spanish are obvious for a lawyer handling immigration, labor and other various types of law.
