Lawyers play an important role in our society by creating, interpreting, and applying the law for their clients. Besides representing clients in court, lawyers may also provide advice, draft legal documents and contracts, and assist in negotiating deals. Lawyers can also represent clients in criminal cases or work for the government in creating and interpreting laws and regulations. Becoming a lawyer requires attending law school and passing the Bar Exam in order to be admitted to the Bar in their state.
In this study, we ranked 332 cities to determine the most attractive cities where lawyers may want to pursue their careers. Below, you can find the top 50 cities for lawyers, as well as the top-10 small, midsize, and large cities for lawyers.
Our study found that the best cities for lawyers are large cities, with 9 of the top 10, and 38 of the top 50 cities being cities with populations of 500,000 or higher. Major cities have higher concentrations of businesses and organizations in need of legal assistance, which also leads to higher concentrations of jobs for attorneys.
