How to become a conflicts attorney?

To become a conflicts attorney, you must follow the same educational path as other lawyers. You need to earn a bachelor's degree, then complete law school. Once you have finished schooling, you need to pass your state bar exam to be eligible to practice. Most employers prefer conflicts attorneys who have some experience at a large law firm, so many start their careers as staff lawyers at big law firms. Practice researching client backgrounds to determine areas that may cause a conflict in legal cases and determine ways to resolve these conflicts. After working for several years and learning how to determine what is and what is not considered a conflict, seek conflicts attorney positions.
