He went on to pursue a law career, obtaining a professional doctorate degree in law from the University of North Carolina School of Law. Edwards worked for Franklin Dupree and later joined the “Dearborn & Ewing” law firm, where he won several important cases and received the Association of Trial Lawyers of America award.
In 1998, he was elected as a United States Senator, defeating Lauch Faircloth.

After his extramarital affair was exposed, Edwards stepped down from politics. He was married to Elizabeth Anania from 1977 until her death in 2010 due to breast cancer.
Apart from politics, Edwards is also a published writer, with his most recent book “Ending Poverty in America: How to Restore the American Dream” published in 2007.
