What school do you go to become a lawyer? -

I am only 14, but my aspiration is to become a lawyer. I am confused on what school I need to go to, and for how long, etc. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

Most major universities have a law school. In North America, you need to first have a Bachelor s degree, in order to apply to a law school. There isn t any one particular degree that you need. People from many different disciplines go into law school. A great majority, study philosophy or political science, in their Bachelor s because both of these subjects are good preparation for law. But there are people who do a degree in Biology or Economics, and then decide they want to go to law school. You still have lots of time to find out information about what law school you want to go to. The only other thing that law schools require is an entrance test that is called LSAT. You take that test generally when you are in university. Most people do it in their last year in university before they apply to law school. You have to have a certain score in the LSAT in order to qualify for admission into law school. The degree LLB that you do in law school, generally takes about 2 years. Good luck!

Law School which is 4 yrs. long; after you finish college for 4 yrs.

My friend went to Tulane after getting his Bachelor s from Texas Tech University

harvard , Yale

Well, generally if you want to become a lawyer, you go to law school. (sorry, I couldn t resist...) Most colleges have a pre-law program that gives you basic training, and after getting a college degree you go to the law school previously mentioned. Since you re 14 you ve probably seen Legally Blonde--Harvard Law School. It s extremely hard to get into (duh, Harvard). But that s only an example. Most universities are split up into branches and the law branch is very common among them. Good luck; I hope that you reach your goal!

You can research to find what college offers a pre-law course of study, then you would need to attend law school.
