Advancement Prospects
Bankruptcy lawyers advance by working for more prestigious firms, by raising the fees they charge clients, and by opening their own practices. Others become bankruptcy judges, who oversee the administration of bankruptcy cases. Bankruptcy judges are judicial officers of the U.S. district court and, as such, are appointed by a majority of judges from the U.S. court of appeals.
