Many law clerks have gone on to become leaders of the profession. For example, the Hon. Mr. Justice Jean Cote of the Alberta Court of Appeal was one of the very first Supreme Court law clerks, serving as a clerk in the program's inaugural year (1967).n England and Wales, law clerks are called Judicial Assistants. It is possible to be a Judicial Assistant at the Court of Appeal and at the UK Supreme Court (formerly the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords).
A financial assistant is an entry-level employee responsible for preparing financial spreadsheets, reports and proposals for the use of junior and senior financial managers. You'll need a bachelor's degree in finance plus about two years of related work experience to become a financial assistant. The Bureau of Labor Statistics includes financial assistants in the lowest-paid 10 percent of workers in the financial manager category, employees making less than $56,120 a year as of May 2010.
A bachelor degree is required for most positions in the finance field. However, there are some cases in which an associate degree would be sufficient. For example, an individual with a finance degree can often get an entry-level position at many banks and accounting firms.
