Find answers to your legal question.





Am i going the right way about this?

My goal is to become a good lawyer when I'm older. I'm currently doing GCSE ict.. history and drama.. I'm expected to get A's and A*'s in all my subjects including english maths and science.. When i go onto college i would like to study english language, history and psychology.. Then go on to do subjects at university.. I'm also trying to learn Italian in my spare time so i also can speak two different languages.. Do you think this is a good way to go about becoming a lawyer? What subjects should i study at uni and do you think my college subjects are good?
I haven't chosen my college subjects yet as i've just finished year 10 going onto year 11 in september.. :) xx

If your serious about law, then its easy to get accepted. For an example if you don't get the grades for direct entry to law you could all ways do another degree and then apply again for a shortened 2 year law programme.

i know this, because i want to do dentistry, and its pretty similar, i know i didn't get the grades to do dentistry first time around , so I'm going to do biomedical science then apply for dentistry after wards, its a long route but i get to earn 60 K a year so I'm not bothered.

To sum it all up, don't get dis hearted (trust me i had to learn this the hard way) if you don't get it first time around. you could always apply again once you have a relevant degree.

Usually in college, subjects like history, philosophy, business, and politics are good things to study when going into law. You may also consider taking some courses in a science field, like physics and chemistry, that will teach you how to logically reason and problem solve, a potentially useful skill.

Any course where you can learn the history of law, politics, logical reasoning and problem solving, and the basic rules of business are good choices for law school.


uh huh huh
at uni i would probably recommend studying law. for college (i assume a-levels) history politics english are all safe choices


Gutted
na.

Seems fine to me. Try to keep your option subjects as wide as possible - don't specialise too soon.
Good luck

For A-level, those sound like good choices. I think you need a history/humanities course to do a degree in law at most universities.
If you want to be a lawyer, you should really go for a degree in law! And any languages you learn will help you look better on your CV I guess.
