Anyone, in theory, can become a lawyer provided that they fulfill the necessary requirements. You don't need any experience to go to law school. (However, by working as a paralegal beforehand -- or any job that gives you taste of what an attorney does in a given field -- you'll have a better idea if you seriously want to invest three plus years of your life into becoming a lawyer.)
The traditional method of becoming an attorney is: 1) Getting your B.A. degree at minimum; (2) studying for the LSAT (law school admissions test); (3) applying for and being accepted into a law school program; (4) and passing the State bar. |

Yes but so much depends on them getting a training contract. It is not unknown for Solicitor's firms to be utterly ruthless not to say dishonest in this matter by keeping them hanging on for such a contract |

Yes, if they go on to study and pass the necessary exams. |

Sure, paralegals can become lawyers, but they need to go to law school. There used to be something called "reading for the law" which you could do on the outside, but I don't think you can do that anymore. |

Yes, paralegals can become laywers, but you have to apply for law school which includes testing for the LSAT. You can learn more at www.lsac.org. The LSAT is not a test to be taken lightly. It is not difficult in the traditional sense, but it is a learned way of thinking that requires extensive practice unless you have worked cross puzzles and such throughout your life. Good Luck!! |
