I want to be a Lawyer when i grow up how many years do i spend at Universtity? -

Right now i am in Highschool and i really want to be a lawyer because i am very interested. But i have no clue what steps i am going to make in the future to become what i want to be. i would like to know how many years i would have to spend in University and what i would have to take ....as i n courses right now.

depending on your class load, if you attend summer semesters, the school you attend anywhere from 6 to 8 years in college. the profession as a whole is saturated with unemployed legal graduates and the prospects for the next 10 to 20 years is for the profession to have less growth potential then the rest of the job market as a whole. there will be opportunities in some areas of the country for the very best applicants but as already noted there are a lot of attorneys that are struggling to just survive and pay off their education expenses. the big dollar glamor jobs at the prestigious law firms simply are not there for the majority of prospective attorneys. that does not mean you can t become one of those special attorneys but realize the odds are against you and the options are extremely limited.

4 years of undergraduate (it doesn t have to be pre-law; other majors that would do well include English, history, and psychology), followed by law school for 2-3 years. Make sure your writing skills are up to par, and take logic if you can. It will play a big part in the LSAT, the law school entrance exam. Good luck! :)

no guarantee you will get into Law School and there are so many lawyers in the world now, some don;t make much money, plus everyone hates lawyers

I m pretty sure every lawyer I ever dealt with never spent a day in law school. At least that is how it seemed.
