Careers involving law?

can anyone suggest some careers that have something to do with law - not a lawyer though!!
i like the idea of being a criminal psychologist but im not actually all too sure what they do.
any ideas are welcome and if you know, can you include what i would actually have to study at uni to become whatever you suggest...
thankyouuuu :)

Become a paralegal. The qualifications differ at each firm usually but where I work you need a bachelor's degree (in anything really, as long as your communication skills are top notch). There are also certificate programs that are specifically tailored to paralegal work, but I find they're sort of a waste.

If you really like law like you say you do, then there's not reason you wouldn't want to be a lawyer. From your desire to be a crim psych. I think you're more into criminal justice than law. You might want to look into being on a police force as a detective or something similar.

If you're turned off by lawyering because of the school commitment, then phsychiatry is no better - you need at least a grad degree to get anywhere with it.

Try being a paralegal for a little while, it will really give you insight into what it's REALLY like to be a lawyer.
