Resume question
I'm updating my resume for my new job search (yay!) and I realized I haven't had to do this since I graduated law school. I have my education listed at the top followed by experience, but I feel that since I've been working for a few years perhaps experience should come first? Does it matter?
Re: Resume question
Mine is sectioned like this:
Experience
Education
Honors/Professional Associations
Computer Skills
Mine was just updated for a job interview I went on 2 weeks ago!
Good luck!!!
I agree with this. Your experience is usually what sets you apart from others. I would guess most everyone in your profession would have a degree, but not everyone has had the same job and responsibilities you have. Good luck!!

Definitely experience first. Education first is mostly for recent grads who don't have experience yet. It's also good to have a professional summary at top, right under your name/contact info: "Established legal professional with more than 5 years experience litigating blah blah blah...". Also, list some accomplishments under your experience instead of just listing job tasks.
I've been working with a friend who's an expert on resumes over the last few weeks as I've been overhauling mine, for the first time in 10 years, so these are the tips I was given.

I agree that your experience should come first. I also like Lori's suggestion about the professional summary.
GL!

Typically when I do resume's or help people with theirs, I put education at the bottom. At this point, you are probably going to be considered for a job based on your work experience, as your education already got your foot in the door.
Good luck!
