Best Answer

Yes, he was an attorney but he no longer practices law. Mr. Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991 (where he became the first African American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review). Following law school, he was hired by a Chicago law firm where he specialized in civil right litigation, and he also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School. But after deciding to run for political office, he allowed his law license to expire, and it has been inactive since 2002.

Yes, he worked for the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard after he got his law degree. He was hired to handle civil rights cases. Prior to that, he was an intern at Sidley Austin, the law firm where he met his future wife Michelle.

Yes he was; he worked for a small civil rights law firm in Chicago. And he also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School. Being a lawyer changed Mr. Obama's life in one other way-- while he was interning at a different Chicago law firm, he met a young lawyer named Michelle Robinson, who later became his wife.
