JCT Contracts Guide
JCT contracts establish a standard form of building contracts in the construction industry.

Factors to Consider Before Applying to Law School
Disposition Different people have different strengths. Your family, friends and teachers may encourage you to go to law school, but if it requires you to operate too far out of your wheelhouse, you may not find it worthwhile in the long run. Likewise, if you want to be an attorney simply because you want to make a great salary, you may consider other careers with this benefit that are more in line with what you enjoy doing. It takes certain skills to be successful as an attorney. You must be willing to work long hours and have the capacity to comb through detailed information to build a case. These same skills are needed to even get your JD. You want to make sure your strengths match up with the rigors of acquiring a law degree before you take the leap. If you do decide that the law is the right career path for you, you still must choose the type of law in which you are most interested, whether it be corporate law or immigration law. These choices can have an effect on where you decide to study.
