Several of my classmates are now working in corporate Human Resources depts. They make sure that the company is following both state and federal laws on hiring/firing, etc. I know that insurance, securities, and other companies who must comply with laws of many states, will hire attorneys as compliance officers. A compliance officer makes sure that the company is following not only the Federal law but the law of the state they are selling in. Many corporate executives went to law school and continue to maintain a license to practice law. The corporate world values the extra effort and diligence it takes just to get through law school and pass the bar exam.
