Asserting Your Role as a Young Lawyer

A young lawyer in her early 20s faces the frustrating reality of being mistaken for a paralegal or law student—both in court and in the office. The solution? Project confidence, assert your role politely but firmly, and subtly educate clients without sounding rude. In the office, introduce yourself as an attorney and redirect tasks to the right staff. In court, pivot gracefully by highlighting your experience and the work you’re doing. It’s not about arrogance—it’s about establishing your professional identity early and ensuring everyone respects your position as a licensed attorney.
