Why are some many lawyers Jewish?
<|assistant|>
Despite making up only a small percentage of the population, Jews are over-represented in the legal field, with approximately 33% of US lawyers being Jewish. This is due to the high number of Jewish intellectuals over the centuries who have chosen law as a career, the high levels of achievement within the profession, and networking advantages that Jews often enjoy. Additionally, Jewish law schools have been historically strong, producing highly skilled lawyers over the years.
