An associates degree would not be enough to get into law school. You ll need a bachelor s degree which is a 4 year degree. You ll need pretty good grades from a pretty good school and pretty good LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) scores in order to get into a pretty good law school. Law school takes 3 years but you should know that the best entry level positions for prosecutors are highly prized and the best federal court slots go to the top graduates of the top law schools. That said, there s no reason you can t accomplish all of this. Work hard in high school and go to the best college you can afford. Take a liberal arts oriented curriculim - history and political science are popular majors - and do really well. Study for the LSAT starting in your junior year and take it very early in your senior year. With a little luck and much hard work you can achieve your dream. But remember, if you don t work hard, or if you just do the minimum you won t accomplish it. Instead you ll be looking back when you re 40 wondering what it would have been like to go to law school. Good luck.
You have to get your bachelors in political science. You don t have to major in political science though, you can major in just about anything you want just take some classes that would enhance your analytical, writing, and logic skills. These skills are essential to do well on the lsat (law school admission test). You have to do extremely well on the lsat to get into law school. So when it comes time to take your lsat do A LOT of practice test. Basically if you can graduate with a g.p.a of 3.5 and up and get around 165 and up on your lsat your chances are pretty good . GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Usually top 10% on your BA or BSc, and 90th percentile on LSATs are required. Then you still have to article before you write the bar exams. Good luck, it s hard work, but worth it.
