    PLEASE consider a different vocational path.

    In the USA, to become a Lawyer, IF you go to school full-time:
    1) Bachelor’s degree - four years from a traditional college/university.
    2) Study for LSAT. Take LSAT.
    3) Law school - three MORE years.
    4) Study for Bar Exam. Take Bar Exam in the state where you want to practice.
    5) Pass the Character and Fitness Evaluation. Then you can practice Law.
    BUT……..
    6) You still have to take classes/seminars etc. to obtain CEUs to keep your license to practice Law. (You aren’t done with school!)

    Being a lawyer is not like what you see on TV - TV is fiction.

    Choosing a career is one of life’s most important and difficult decisions.

    We simply already have way too many Legal Professionals. AND the legal profession is dramatically changing and is in absolute CRISIS!!! Job searching in this vocational field has changed >>DRAMATICALLY mailaccount63

    you need to ask your counselors at school what schools and studies you need to become a lawyer. they should have all the information that you need. or contact a law firm and see if there is a lawyer or dept that can help you. they maybe able to refer you to someone that can help you. edie
