However, I have chronic back pain due to which I am unable to sit continuously for more than 1 hour. But I can walk all day long and manage long of hours of work by altering between sitting and standing with some walking breaks.
I was thinking litigation as an option due to better remuneration in long term and more flexibility - like taking files home to read after court hours. (These are just my assumptions)
I have an interest in law and there is an intuition that my reading and reasoning skills can help me do well here. But I don't have much idea about the kind of physical demands of the litigation job.
Kindly advice should I consider law, specifically litigation as a career? Feel free to advice any other careers in law which are more suitable for persons with chronic pain like me.
But you need to have LLM for that.
