Prologue 中에서

미국변호사가 되겠다는 일념으로 미국을 가서 많은 시행착오 끝에 미국변호사가 되었고, 그리고 한국으로 돌아왔습니다. 한국으로 돌아온 이후 많은 분들을 만나면서 미국변호사에 대해 생각보다 많이 알려지지 않았고, 특히 미국변호사가 되고 싶은 분들조차도 미국변호사가 되는 방법에 대해 정확히 모르는 경우가 많아 실로 안타까움을 금할 수 없었습니다.
이 책은 2014년 5월부터 법률신문에서 연재된 ‘미국변호사 되는 길’이라는 글을 기고하면서, 연속시리즈물이 아닌 미국변호사가 되는 방법을 안내해주는 통합 가이드북을 내야겠다는 생각으로 작년연말부터 원고 집필을 시작하게 되었습니다. 이 책을 통해 저와 같이 ‘미국변호사’라는 직업을 꿈꾸며 새로운 길을 모색하기를 희망하는 많은 분들에게 도움이 되었으면 하는 간절한 바람입니다.
