How did everyone get into Workers Comp law? It’s such a niche area, I’m always curious about this.

2015 grad here. Spent four years in the public defender's office and then got into workers' comp on the claimant's side. I miss the excitement of criminal defense, but one thing I really like about my current work is that I still feel like I'm sticking up for the little guy. That and I'd be bored with a job that didn't get me into court at least occasionally!

2011 graduate when hiring sucked. Wanted something related to employment law and fell into this. Now I would never go to employment law from this

WLB, the people you deal with, frankly I find it far more interesting than most other fields. It’s administrative law (in CA at least) but you are in court or at depos regularly. Not something you see in most other fields right off the bat.

First job out of law school.
