I just had my yearly physical and was sitting in my cardiologist's office waiting for him to meet with me. As is normal, I reviewed the diplomas on the wall and saw his impressive medical school diploma, as well as certificates showing his internship, residency and fellowship. I was quite impressed and comfortable that his advice was worth following.

Lawyers are not required to do fellowships, residencies, and not even internships. A law school graduate is let loose onto the public and can practice any kind of law, civil or criminal—personal injury, wrongful death and complex business litigation. All allowable and condoned by the Florida Bar.
