When you go to a new lawyer, that is what you get. Unlike any other profession, lawyers have no clinical experience and no internships. Nurses have semesters of internship experience. Dental technicians have hundreds of hours.
Doctors have years as do accountants.
But a new lawyer will most likely have never been in a courthouse before, will never have drafted a legal paper, and never before interviewed a client. It used to be that law firms provided training to new lawyers. But then, new lawyers were paid so little that part of the interview process was determining that the new lawyer had an employed spouse who could support them both. The reason is that 3,000 lawyers a year are admitted to the Texas State Bar. And practice describes what they are doing.
