Question by Tawny: Psychology – Learning?
Two quick Psychology questions for you:

1. Researchers present adjectives followed by questions to three different groups. The first group is asked if the adjective is in uppercase letters. The second group is asked if the word rhymes with another word. The third group is asked if the adjective describes them. The researchers find that of the three groups, the third group scores highest on a test requiring them to recall the adjectives. How would cognitive psychologists interpret the findings?
a. Semantic encoding is an effective way to store information.
b. Pairing auditory and visual presentations of a stimulus is an effective mode of learning.
c. The manner of encoding is not a factor in the ability to recall.
d. Recall is directly proportional to how much information a person is required to store.

2. To keep your cat from scratching your furniture, you have paired the sound of a buzzer with squirting your cat with water. The cat now runs away when she hears the buzzer. In this example, squirting your cat with water is an example of

Question by : How much Public Speaking in practicing Law?
I am interested in pursuing a career in law but am not a good public speaker. Does every form of law practice involve a lot of public speaking? What would be good areas to pursue if I want a law career but not with a lot of public speaking?

Best answer:

Answer by Buckshot Lullaby
It depends. Many areas of law require very little public speaking, while others require a lot. To be honest, though, you can’t really have a career in law where you won’t have *any* public speaking. Public speaking is also required in most law schools to some extent. However, certain areas will have greatly reduced public speaking – such as – employment based immigration law (the only time you’ll be in actual court and thus publicly speaking is if you’ve really, really messed up). Others might be if you’re a transactional attorney, contracts, estate planning, working as an attorney in an advisory capacity might require just written opinions with occasional speaking. Most areas of law, with the exception of criminal, have the potential to have reduced public speaking, those are just some examples. You don’t have to be a trial attorney, in fact, most people I know in law school aren’t interested in trial. Many of my classmates in law school have the same fear/dislike of public speaking, so its not like everybody, or even most people, who go to law school are thrilled about that. Don’t worry. If you like law and want to go to law school, do it. You can find opportunities that don’t require public speaking every day.
