Becoming a Lawyer

[biggiesmallz]

The way I understand it is first you need a Bachelor degree, any Bachelor degree in anything then you can go to law school.
Am I cirrect?

Sell your soul to the devil is the first step.

Well, yes, technically. What you major in in undergrad could have an effect on what type of law you practice once you get your JD, or so I've heard.

 

[Frodolives]

Humanities is sometimes considered a good pre-law degree.

 

[Ronstang]

Like the world needs anymore lawyers.....they create nothing....they merely take and redistribute wealth. Most lawyers are nothing but legalized extortionists anymore. It is no longer a noble profession.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Become willing to do stuff like this.

bachelor's degree
then you need to take the LSAT test. You should score 165 or above to get a shot at going to the better law schools
then apply to law school

head on over to LSAC for more info. You will need to register in the LSDAS database to apply to law school

don't listen to what anyone says, most lawyers never see the inside of a courtroom. Trial lawyers a tiny part all lawyers. if you get into a good law school you can make $100,000 a year starting doing corporate law

What's wrong with that?

 

[Albis]

or you can do tax consulting for accounting firms and make great money with a JD as well

 

[Ausm]

Be able to lie with a straight face and also massively overcharge for labor.

Law school and then pass the bar.

Step one, buy a dictionary.

 

[vood0g]

nothing wrong with being being a lawyer. you should head over to lsac.org for most of the information that you need. you can apply for most of the schools online.

 

[Gurck]

If you have a conscience, turn back now.

Oh yeah, corporate law. Now THAT'S a nice profession with no reputation for poor morality.
