Alternative Legal Career in Environmental ___________ ?
I am seeking the ideal alternative legal career. I graduated law school last May, sat for and passed the NY and CT bar exams in July. I tried for about 6 months to land a job in Environmental Law here in NYC, but found the process fruitless. Now I am working at a small personal injury firm to pay the bills, but badly want to work on environmental issues.
I also have a B.A. in environmental studies from college. I wish i went for the B.S.
I want to work advancing environmental objectives, whether it be (for example) working for an alternative energy company, doing policy lobbying, or something completely different. I do not want to limit myself to traditional legal work, but i want something that will allow m to use the skills that i have cultivated.
Please advise me if you have any thoughts, insights, experience, or are just well informed.
Thanks.
