What courses should you take in high school if you want to go into corporate law?
I am planning to go into corporate law one day and I am confused as to what high school courses you should take in order to be efficient in that certain field. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
You should take the standard college prep courses. Once in college, DO NOT major in "pre-law!" It is a wasted degree and does nothing to prepare you for law school.
It is more important that you be a well rounded individual than it is you take the "right" courses to get into law school. Also, working for a couple of years after college before going to law school helps. It gives you a dose of "reality," which is useful to instruct your fellow students.

Where can I find free New York Corporate Law Consultation?
If an international holding company is going to put up a Headquarter in New York, and has a subsidiary in UK. Then one of its clients in UK would like to sue UK Subsidiary and New York Parent company, is there a way to protect the HQ? I need to see NY corporate law, where can i find it? Who can help me with legal structures and implications?
You can go to the NY Secretary of State web site for information on incorporating in New York and corporate law.
FYI: You may incorporate in any of the 50 United States, and the laws for each state are different, and so are the taxes. It would be wise for you to check to find out which states have the lowest taxes for your business.
For example, my corporation, is in North Carolina, and there is a state franchise tax on corporate assets within North Carolina, and every state is different.
It would be good to consult with an attorney who knows the pluses and minuses of all the states, before incorporating in New York.

Someone in corporate law: do those with better looks have an edge in hiring?
I'm a plain looking girl, but incredibly confident about my professional and academic abilities.
When I begin applying for summer associate positions at large corporate law firms, do you think that the fact that my face isn't that beautiful will lower my chances of being hired?
Please be dressed in neat and tidy manner !!. Hiring solely depends upon the caliber and expertise possessed by the applicant.
You are sure to be selected !!

I am planning to join a corporate law firm as a junior.?
I am planning to join a corporate law firm as a junior lawyer. I have no experience before. Please tell me, what areas should I brush up my knowledge in. And what is the ambience like in a corporate firm? And also tell me your experiences in this field please.
Somebody answer????!!!!
Even if you got all A's in your corporate law classes in law school, nothing can prepare you for real practice. Just be alert and willing to learn. Accept correction at all times. The learning curve is very steep. Unlike the presidency, this profession lends itself to on-the-job training.

Does anyone have experience or know anyone has a career in tax or corporate law?
I am a young CPA and will be taking the LSAT soon. If I get accepted to law school, any suggestions on what route I should take? I think I would like doing corporate mergers, but I live in South Carolina. I absolutely love New York City, but I don't plan on living there. Critics tell me that it's a waste of time for me to go to law school after getting my CPA license, but I tell them they're full of it.
Several of my classmates were CPAs before coming to law school and their interests naturally went toward corporate banking/finance law, tax law, securities law, and M&A. However if you find your interests changing, you won't be pigeon-holed - one of my CPA law school friends became very active in post-Katrina housing issues. Having a CPA + JD is definitely a plus in terms of the kinds of jobs you can get and the salary you can make.
NYC is a tough legal market but you don't have to live here to work here - there's a good regional transportation network so you can live in the suburbs of NJ, CT, Long Island, or upstate NY.
If this is what you want, go for it and good luck!

Panel to Congress: Make tax time easier Washington Post
In an exhaustive 18-month review, the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board found that the complexity of the nation's tax laws has increased dramatically in recent years. Lawmakers have changed the code more than 15,000 times since the last major overhaul in 1986. Meanwhile, instruction booklets for the standard Form 1040 have swelled from 14 pages to 44 pages last year.
The board also found that the profusion of credits, deductions, phaseouts and conflicting eligibility requirements frays the sanity of ordinary taxpayers just as surely as it complicates the calculations of wealthy families and business owners. Tax provisions affecting families and children were among the most frequently cited sources of confusion, the report said.
"What the report makes clear is the enormous complexity of the tax law . . . for an ordinary family trying to figure out and make sure they are complying with the laws and taking advantage of benefits offered," said Harvard economist and former Reagan administration economic adviser Martin Feldstein, who led the board's effort to develop a series of options for disentangling the code.
