What process would a paralegal take in order to become a lawyer?

I live in Texas and I am a senior this year.

Same as anyone else:

Take the LSAT
Apply to law school
Get accepted
Pass your classes
Graduate
Take the bar exam
Pass the bar exam or retake it...

I would like to add to the first post that after you do these things:

1. Take the LSAT
2. Apply to law school
3. Get accepted
4. Pass your classes
5. Graduate
6. Pass the bar exam

You still have these two things:

7. Pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE); and
8. Pass the moral character determination.

Go to law school...just like anyone else.

you would have a bachelor degree (grade average in a high percentile, law school is very compete, take LSAT and pass in a high percentile, you would attend a accredited university.

if you are a senior about to graduate u need to make sure you have a high enough GPA to enter law school (your pick).

Could you answer some questions for me since i am an undergradute studying for her paralegal? Its 3 questions for my intro to law class, i need to conduct an interview with a paralegal.

1) What are some of the most important characteristics to you that a paralegal should possess?

2) What has been the most positive reward you have acquired since you have begun your career?

3) What has been the most negative aspect you have discovered since you have begun your career, if any?

I would appreciate your time spent.

I don't know that it's necessarily different due to someone having a degree or certificate as a paralegal. It may show the college admissions department that you are familiar with some of the tasks that lawyers take on though as the other person mentioned, the LSAT's and any other prerequisite courses, gpa (grade point average) in undergraduate study are extremely important.
