Who is the protagonist in Bartleby the Scrivener?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The narrator (the lawyer) would seem to be the protagonist, and Bartleby the literal antagonist.

But Bartleby could be considered the "anti-hero", as modern writers term an unsympathetic focal character. He is the mistreated Everyman whose only power is to disagree.

It depends on the individual taxidermist. The vast majority set their own rate per animal, so it's really up to them. The average in Ohio is 250-400 U.S. dollars. Again, that number could be vastly different depending on location.

What is the major to become a lawyer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Those who pursue law school come from a variety of educational backgrounds. You will most always hear them say they are in pre-law. Still, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-law. It is a curriculum track to ensure the student is taking the appropriate prerequisites required by law schools. Thus, their actual major can be in most any area. Read the following carefully and follow through on the link provided below this answer box. It should be of great value to you.

The following is by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for a lawyer. Formal requirements to become a lawyer usually include a 4-year college degree, 3 years of law school, and passing a written bar examination; however, some requirements may vary by State. Competition for admission to most law schools is intense. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them. Education and training.Becoming a lawyer usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school-4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school. Law school applicants must have a bachelor's degree to qualify for admission. To meet the needs of students who can attend only part time, a number of law schools have night or part-time divisions. Although there is no recommended "prelaw" undergraduate major, prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically-skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the law. Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreign languages, public speaking, government, philosophy, history, economics, mathematics, and computer science, among others, are useful. Students interested in a particular aspect of law may find related courses helpful. For example, prospective patent lawyers need a strong background in engineering or science, and future tax lawyers must have extensive knowledge of accounting. Acceptance by most law schools depends on the applicant's ability to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of law, usually through undergraduate grades, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the quality of the applicant's undergraduate school, any prior work experience, and sometimes, a personal interview. However, law schools vary in the weight they place on each of these and other factors. All law schools approved by the American Bar Association require applicants to take the LSAT. As of 2006, there were 195 ABA-accredited law schools; others were approved by State authorities only. Nearly all law schools require applicants to have certified transcripts sent to the Law School Data Assembly Service, which then submits the applicants' LSAT scores and their standardized records of college grades to the law schools of their choice. The Law School Admission Council administers both this service and the LSAT. Competition for admission to many law schools-especially the most prestigious ones-is usually intense, with the number of applicants greatly exceeding the number that can be admitted. During the first year or year and a half of law school, students usually study core courses, such as constitutional law, contracts, property law, torts, civil procedure, and legal writing. In the remaining time, they may choose specialized courses in fields such as tax, labor, or corporate law. Law students often gain practical experience by participating in school-sponsored legal clinics; in the school's moot court competitions, in which students conduct appellate arguments; in practice trials under the supervision of experienced lawyers and judges; and through research and writing on legal issues for the school's law journals. A number of law schools have clinical programs in which students gain legal experience through practice trials and projects under the supervision of lawyers and law school faculty. Law school clinical programs might include work in legal aid offices, for example, or on legislative committees. Part-time or summer clerkships in law firms, government agencies, and corporate legal departments also provide valuable experience. Such training can lead directly to a job after graduation and can help students decide what kind of practice best suits them. Law school graduates receive the degree of juris doctor (J.D.), a first professional degree. Advanced law degrees may be desirable for those planning to specialize, research, or teach. Some law students pursue joint degree programs, which usually require an additional semester or year of study. Joint degree programs are offered in a number of areas, including business administration or public administration. After graduation, lawyers must keep informed about legal and nonlegal developments that affect their practices. In 2006, 43 States and jurisdictions required lawyers to participate in mandatory continuing legal education. Many law schools and State and local bar associations provide continuing education courses that help lawyers stay abreast of recent developments. Some States allow continuing education credits to be obtained through participation in seminars on the Internet. Licensure.To practice law in the courts of any State or other jurisdiction, a person must be licensed, or admitted to its bar, under rules established by the jurisdiction's highest court. All States require that applicants for admission to the bar pass a written bar examination; most States also require applicants to pass a separate written ethics examination. Lawyers who have been admitted to the bar in one State occasionally may be admitted to the bar in another without taking another examination if they meet the latter jurisdiction's standards of good moral character and a specified period of legal experience. In most cases, however, lawyers must pass the bar examination in each State in which they plan to practice. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them. To qualify for the bar examination in most States, an applicant must earn a college degree and graduate from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) or the proper State authorities. ABA accreditation signifies that the law school, particularly its library and faculty, meets certain standards. With certain exceptions, graduates of schools not approved by the ABA are restricted to taking the bar examination and practicing in the State or other jurisdiction in which the school is located; most of these schools are in California. Although there is no nationwide bar examination, 48 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands require the 6-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) as part of their overall bar examination; the MBE is not required in Louisiana or Washington. The MBE covers a broad range of issues, and sometimes a locally prepared State bar examination is given in addition to it. The 3-hour Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) is used as part of the bar examination in several States. States vary in their use of MBE and MEE scores. Many States also require Multistate Performance Testing to test the practical skills of beginning lawyers. Requirements vary by State, although the test usually is taken at the same time as the bar exam and is a one-time requirement. In 2007, law school graduates in 52 jurisdictions were required to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), which tests their knowledge of the ABA codes on professional responsibility and judicial conduct. In some States, the MPRE may be taken during law school, usually after completing a course on legal ethics. Other qualifications. The practice of law involves a great deal of responsibility. Individuals planning careers in law should like to work with people and be able to win the respect and confidence of their clients, associates, and the public. Perseverance, creativity, and reasoning ability also are essential to lawyers, who often analyze complex cases and handle new and unique legal problems. Advancement. Most beginning lawyers start in salaried positions. Newly hired attorneys usually start as associates and work with more experienced lawyers or judges. After several years, some lawyers are admitted to partnership in their firm, which means they are partial owners of the firm, or go into practice for themselves. Some experienced lawyers are nominated or elected to judgeships. (See the section on judges, magistrates, and other judicial workers elsewhere in the Handbook.) Others become full-time law school faculty or administrators; a growing number of these lawyers have advanced degrees in other fields as well. Some attorneys use their legal training in administrative or managerial positions in various departments of large corporations. A transfer from a corporation's legal department to another department often is viewed as a way to gain administrative experience and rise in the ranks of management.

Why did presidents wear white wigs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The practice of presidents and other individuals wearing white wigs can be traced back to the 18th century. During that time, powdered wigs, also known as periwigs, were fashionable among the upper classes in Europe. Wigs were primarily made from human or animal hair and were powdered with starch or flour to give them a distinctive white color.

Wearing wigs, including white wigs, was considered a sign of social status, wealth, and power. It was also seen as a way to emulate the fashion trends of the French court, which had a significant influence on European fashion at the time.

In the case of some early American presidents, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, wearing white wigs was part of the formal attire and style of the era. It was also a way to present a dignified and authoritative image, befitting the office they held.

Over time, the fashion for powdered wigs diminished, and by the late 18th century, they fell out of favor in most circles. The tradition of presidents wearing white wigs gradually faded away as well, as fashions and styles changed.

How much do you get paid being a lawyer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 2002, the median annual earnings of all lawyers was $90,290. The middle half of the occupation earned between $61,060 and $136,810. The lowest paid 10 percent earned less than $44,490; at least 10 percent earned more than $145,600. Median annual earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of lawyers in 2002 are given in the following tabulation: * Management of companies and enterprises $131,970 * Federal government $98,790 * Legal services $93,970 * Local government $69,710 * State government $67,910 Note that a salary comes with a position in a corporation. Many attorney's that work for law firms work on a percentage basis, and many solo practitioners work on a contingency basis. Which would mean they likely get a 'draw' or an amount every month that is credited against their percentage. Then firms will adjust on a quarterly or annual basis for bonuses and other aspects of the employment agreement. And a solo practitioner could make several hundred thousand of dollars one year and almost nothing the next.

Working conditions of being a lawyer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lawyers do most of their work in offices, law libraries, and courtrooms. They sometimes meet in clients' homes or places of business and, when necessary, in hospitals or prisons. They may travel to attend meetings, gather evidence, and appear before courts, legislative bodies, and other authorities.

Salaried lawyers usually have structured work schedules. Lawyers who are in private practice may work irregular hours while conducting research, conferring with clients, or preparing briefs during non-office hours. Lawyers often work long hours, and of those who regularly work full time, about half work 50 hours or more per week. They may face particularly heavy pressure when a case is being tried. Preparation for court includes keeping abreast of the latest laws and judicial decisions.

What are the laws concerning someone who rents a home and is the landlord of the home allowed to come in at any time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Laws will be different from country to country, and possibly even from state to state in the US. I think virtually everywhere in the US, a landlord does not have the right to enter a rented (up-to-date) property at any time. Your rent doesn't give you full ownership of the property, but it does give you certain rights. The privacy of your home is something you should be able to expect when you rent and are current. The landlord does own the property, however, and has the right to inspect the property after giving you adequate notice (and possibly under other circumstances according to the law). You'll have to check local/state laws.

What degree is required for an architect?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am an architect in the United States. To become an architect in the US you need to have an architecture degree from an accredited university. Typically this means a 5 year degree or in some cases a 6 year degree. Another route that is emerging is to have an undergraduate degree in another field, and then attend a 3 year graduate program in architecture (also from an accredited university).

After graduation, you need to complete a minimum number of hours working under the supervision of an architect or some very similar setting. Typically it takes about three to five years for most intern architects to satisfy all of these hour training requirements. The reason it takes longer for many people is because the training hours you need are broken down into categories - and younger interns may not have much opportunity to get experience in some of these areas.

In addition to the degree and the training hours, you also need to pass seven different license exams. Currently, each exam is $210 and passing rates range from 60% to 80%. The tests cover concepts on Structural Systems and Structural Forces, Mechanical Systems, Electrical Systems, Plumbing, Contracts, Drawings and Specifications, Site Design and related issues such as drainage and contours and urban design, detailed characteristics on various materials such as concrete, masonry, steel, wood, glass, gypsum board, paints, tiles, roofing, etc - and the various construction techniques that are used to make these into a functional building, codes and regulations, and more.

It is a very lengthy road and the people who finish it all are usually pretty bright and have always been fairly good students, or they are very devoted and driven. Usually both. Also, it is common for smart young college students to embark on a career in architecture with a very romantic idea of what it is like to be an architect - then realize over the years (very gradually) that the nature of being an architect is something completely different that is perceived initially to be less desirable. Thus, many architects are also flexible people that can adapt to new situations. I would also say that a good quality for an architect to have (or develop over time) is the ability to focus pretty hard on what might seem like very obscure narrow topics. For example, in the workplace it may be that at least once a week you will have to research where or not a window system complies to a certain lab testing standard, or how to waterproof some strange geometrical condition tucked away in a hidden corner of a roof.

If you are considering a career in architecture, I would recommend that you try to interview a few local architects, architecture students, and architecture faculty. Often times, architects possess a very high work ethic and level of intelligence and focus that would enable them to succeed at many different advanced professions that are much more lucrative than architecture. Thus, you need to try and find out to the best of your ability if it is right for you from the beginning.

How to become a lawyer with a bachelor's degree in psychology?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no such thing as a bachelors degree in law (as in lawyer, if that's what you are referring to). At least not in the United States. Typically, an individual pursuing Law school must complete a bachelors degree first. Read the following carefully for detailed information directly from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Formal requirements to become a lawyer usually include a 4-year college degree, 3 years of law school, and passing a written bar examination; however, some requirements may vary by State. Competition for admission to most law schools is intense. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them. Education and training.Becoming a lawyer usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school-4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school. Law school applicants must have a bachelor's degree to qualify for admission. To meet the needs of students who can attend only part time, a number of law schools have night or part-time divisions. Although there is no recommended "prelaw" undergraduate major, prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically-skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the law. Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreign languages, public speaking, government, philosophy, history, economics, mathematics, and computer science, among others, are useful. Students interested in a particular aspect of law may find related courses helpful. For example, prospective patent lawyers need a strong background in engineering or science, and future tax lawyers must have extensive knowledge of accounting. Acceptance by most law schools depends on the applicant's ability to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of law, usually through undergraduate grades, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the quality of the applicant's undergraduate school, any prior work experience, and sometimes, a personal interview. However, law schools vary in the weight they place on each of these and other factors. All law schools approved by the American Bar Association require applicants to take the LSAT. As of 2006, there were 195 ABA-accredited law schools; others were approved by State authorities only. Nearly all law schools require applicants to have certified transcripts sent to the Law School Data Assembly Service, which then submits the applicants' LSAT scores and their standardized records of college grades to the law schools of their choice. The Law School Admission Council administers both this service and the LSAT. Competition for admission to many law schools-especially the most prestigious ones-is usually intense, with the number of applicants greatly exceeding the number that can be admitted. During the first year or year and a half of law school, students usually study core courses, such as constitutional law, contracts, property law, torts, civil procedure, and legal writing. In the remaining time, they may choose specialized courses in fields such as tax, labor, or corporate law. Law students often gain practical experience by participating in school-sponsored legal clinics; in the school's moot court competitions, in which students conduct appellate arguments; in practice trials under the supervision of experienced lawyers and judges; and through research and writing on legal issues for the school's law journals. A number of law schools have clinical programs in which students gain legal experience through practice trials and projects under the supervision of lawyers and law school faculty. Law school clinical programs might include work in legal aid offices, for example, or on legislative committees. Part-time or summer clerkships in law firms, government agencies, and corporate legal departments also provide valuable experience. Such training can lead directly to a job after graduation and can help students decide what kind of practice best suits them. Law school graduates receive the degree of juris doctor (J.D.), a first professional degree. Advanced law degrees may be desirable for those planning to specialize, research, or teach. Some law students pursue joint degree programs, which usually require an additional semester or year of study. Joint degree programs are offered in a number of areas, including business administration or public administration. After graduation, lawyers must keep informed about legal and nonlegal developments that affect their practices. In 2006, 43 States and jurisdictions required lawyers to participate in mandatory continuing legal education. Many law schools and State and local bar associations provide continuing education courses that help lawyers stay abreast of recent developments. Some States allow continuing education credits to be obtained through participation in seminars on the Internet. Licensure.To practice law in the courts of any State or other jurisdiction, a person must be licensed, or admitted to its bar, under rules established by the jurisdiction's highest court. All States require that applicants for admission to the bar pass a written bar examination; most States also require applicants to pass a separate written ethics examination. Lawyers who have been admitted to the bar in one State occasionally may be admitted to the bar in another without taking another examination if they meet the latter jurisdiction's standards of good moral character and a specified period of legal experience. In most cases, however, lawyers must pass the bar examination in each State in which they plan to practice. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them. To qualify for the bar examination in most States, an applicant must earn a college degree and graduate from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) or the proper State authorities. ABA accreditation signifies that the law school, particularly its library and faculty, meets certain standards. With certain exceptions, graduates of schools not approved by the ABA are restricted to taking the bar examination and practicing in the State or other jurisdiction in which the school is located; most of these schools are in California. Although there is no nationwide bar examination, 48 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands require the 6-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) as part of their overall bar examination; the MBE is not required in Louisiana or Washington. The MBE covers a broad range of issues, and sometimes a locally prepared State bar examination is given in addition to it. The 3-hour Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) is used as part of the bar examination in several States. States vary in their use of MBE and MEE scores. Many States also require Multistate Performance Testing to test the practical skills of beginning lawyers. Requirements vary by State, although the test usually is taken at the same time as the bar exam and is a one-time requirement. In 2007, law school graduates in 52 jurisdictions were required to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), which tests their knowledge of the ABA codes on professional responsibility and judicial conduct. In some States, the MPRE may be taken during law school, usually after completing a course on legal ethics. Other qualifications. The practice of law involves a great deal of responsibility. Individuals planning careers in law should like to work with people and be able to win the respect and confidence of their clients, associates, and the public. Perseverance, creativity, and reasoning ability also are essential to lawyers, who often analyze complex cases and handle new and unique legal problems. Advancement. Most beginning lawyers start in salaried positions. Newly hired attorneys usually start as associates and work with more experienced lawyers or judges. After several years, some lawyers are admitted to partnership in their firm, which means they are partial owners of the firm, or go into practice for themselves. Some experienced lawyers are nominated or elected to judgeships. (See the section on judges, magistrates, and other judicial workers elsewhere in the Handbook.) Others become full-time law school faculty or administrators; a growing number of these lawyers have advanced degrees in other fields as well. Some attorneys use their legal training in administrative or managerial positions in various departments of large corporations. A transfer from a corporation's legal department to another department often is viewed as a way to gain administrative experience and rise in the ranks of management.

What grades do you need to get into Princeton?

Asked by Wiki User

Princeton is a town in central New Jersey. As a town, it has a full set of K-12 educational institutions for young people living in the town.

Princeton University is also located in Princeton, New Jersey. It is a research university for students who have completed secondary school or the equivalent. As such, it is not considered in the typical system of numerical grading that is common with secondary and primary school. A student in the United States of America typically goes through thirteen years of primary and secondary school from kindergarten to grade 12. Princeton University, like all other Universities, educates students from those who have just finished twelfth grade, who enter the Univerity typically as 18 or 19 year old undergraduates, to students eight or more years later, who are pursuing graduate work such on a doctoral level.

Princeton University starts after twelfth grade. It typically encompasses the four years after twelfth grade, and possibly four more if a student is accepted to graduate school at Princeton.

It varies with experience and location, but I can speak for Vancouver, Canada. A senior project architect in Vancouver should top $100k (more with a larger firm). Entry level interns earn about 45-55k, and this can jump to $60-80k with registration. Partners in large firms can make $400k and up.

That's a bit difficult to answer, but the fastest growing legal field is in Intellectual Property, where the "new kid on the block" can obtain a starting salary of $90,000 +. The average yearly salary for a lawyer in general practice is $62,000 to $65,000. The vast majority of attorneys do not make the enormous sums that is generally assumed. Like the majority of professionals they choose to practice law because it is what they love doing, not because they desire wealth and prestige.

An elderly lawyer was about to die. One day he told his wife he had come up with a way to take all of the money he had with him to Heaven. He told his wife to put all of his money in the attic so when he died he could grab it on the way up.

A couple of weeks after he died his wife was cleaning out the attic and saw that the money bags were still there. "That old fool," she chuckled. "I told him that we should have put the money in the basement!"
