What job can you get with a business law degree?

A corporate lawyer's purpose is to ensure that their employer follows the rules and regulations governing their specific industry and human relation and employee issues. These lawyers routinely review contracts of higher-level employees, those drafted by the company, and suppliers.

Another role available to those with a business law degree is compliance officer. Similar to a corporate lawyer, a compliance officer often works hand in hand with state and federal governments to ensure the company is meeting regulations and following current laws.

Compliance officers often develop new procedures that help companies more easily follow business-related laws. Compliance managers must be very familiar with the industry in which they work.

Candidates for these positions typically begin at entry level and gain experience and knowledge within the industry before becoming compliance officers.

Those with a business law degree may also work as a judge. Judges can specialize in business law and hear cases regarding the legalities of a company's actions. There are several ways to become a judge.

After gaining experience as a lawyer, candidates at the local level are elected by voters. Their names appear on election ballots; they will serve a predetermined term. State governors often appoint state judges. Federal judges also have appointed positions.
