Focus on learning to write cleanly and elegantly. Courtroom practice is a very small part of what most lawyers in the United States do today. Much more of our work is writing letters, agreements, memos, and persuasive legal briefs (which are hardly every brief). The language is the most important tool for a lawyer. Also learn about many different things; the more you know the more useful you ll be to your clients.
You could always join the Debate Club. The preparation for that is quite similar to preparing for a court case.
by telling every body i object 2 every thing u can agre or disagre on
Well, during the summer/vacation days you may want to go to your local courthouse and observe actual court cases being tried. Most of them are open to the public.
I agree with the guy who said read and write a lot. Lawyers jobs are mostly reading and writing and talking to clients. Most lawyers will never have a court case.
You could go to your school consular and ask him/her if she/he could find you a law practice that is doing internships for teenagers you age.
I would go to every open court that I could. Then, I would ask a lawyer if I could help research items for the lawyer. Even if the lawyer let you type things, you would be learning a lot. Still, I really think that actually going to open courts will give you the real idea of what happens in court. I do it all the time, am considered a friend of the Court , and I am a child advocate, for free, for abused and molested children. I have discovered many people who have hurt, molested, raped children in their own homes, and I have sent them off to prison. Then, I counseled the children. Heck! I ended up WITH many living with me while they grew up!
