. How do I prepare for law school?
There is no required pre-law course of study. The educational backgrounds and life experiences of law students vary widely. Taking the time to develop certain skills, however, may help prepare you for a career in law. Such skills include the ability to:
Write logically, clearly and concisely.
Critically analyze problems and come up with workable solutions. Clearly articulate a position on an issue and engage in debate. Read, analyze and retain large amounts of printed material. Work well with many types of people.
To hone such skills, you might join a school debate team, work in student government or write for a school publication. An internship or part-time job in a law office or working for an investigator might be useful as well. Ask your academic or pre-law college advisor for additional suggestions.
Applying to law school is a long process. You may have to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) nearly a year before starting law school. You will need to fill out school applications and, in many instances, write a personal essay and solicit letters of recommendation.
Also, keep in mind that admission to law school can be highly competitive. According to the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), most applicants apply to at least four law schools.
For more information on taking the LSAT and applying to law schools, visit the LSAC Web site at www.lsac.org. |

Do your best in highschool, Im guessing your a freshmen or a sophomore, try to get/keep your grades up, take classes dealing with law (if available). Do some community service. (Helps with college applications). Talk to your guidence counselor about good courses for law. And while your in college, try to get an internship with a local lawyer. |
