Pursuing a pathway in Law, Advocacy, and Public Engagement can lead to more than just a job. It helps you make an impact and promote the public good. Whether composing a closing argument for a criminal case, helping a farmer protect their investments, or advising a company on contract negotiations, lawyers rely on their critical reading, thinking, and communication skills. Forensic linguists use their knowledge of language and their ability to read and analyze texts to help with legal and criminal investigations. If you want to work in a collaborative and engaged environment, building connections between your employer and schools, community groups, or the general public, consider a career as an outreach coordinator. Or imagine yourself as a grant writer, helping a non-profit secure funding to support literacy programs for young people.
Choose this pathway if you want to solve complex problems, make connections, or work for change.
