Marisa’s Answer

This is a tricky question. Lawyers don't really make decisions for their clients. Lawyers are supposed to issue spot, apply the rules, and give their clients the information they need to make the final decision. I'm sure clients often give their lawyers the authority to make decisions, but generally speaking, the client should be the one who has the final say in what risks to take on and how to proceed.

Simeon’s Answer

In process assurance, we make a lot of decisions about documentation approaches as well as how to go about structuring our work, especially as you become more experienced.

Savannah’s Answer

Hi! in all jobs you have to make decisions even the simple ones. When your looking for a job you have t decide what you want to do, where you want to do it, what do you wear to the interview. Even when you go out to eat you have to make a decision to what to eat. As a student i have to make decisions a lot like, what classes in going to take, how to i get to school but also i am in extracurriculars and i am a leader in my class and i have to make decisions that could evolve my whole school. If your comfortable to talking to people and making a decision you will be good in any job. Hope this helps!

DENNIS’s Answer

Hi Laurelyn: Interesting question. I agree with Marissa above. As a lawyer the client makes the final decision, However, you make decisions every second of every day. Even asking this question, you made a decision about something you wanted to know and pushed ahead and made the effort to type it and ask it.
As a lawyer you make decisions about accepting a case. Make decisions about how to handle discovery, make decisions about what laws apply to the case and what defense might be available. Remember a good education is the key to making good decisions! Good luck!

Jessica’s Answer

I make decisions a lot - although I did more in my last job, when I was a director. Now I'm one step down on the hierarchy so there are those above me who get to make most of the decisions.

Jessica recommends the following next steps:

Think about what's important to you in a job - I took a demotion and a pay cut because the job was one I'd always wanted. Are you willing to do that?
