This may sound strange but if you are studying law then surely you should know the law on whether or not you can practice as a lawyer!

you need to complete school and write an entrance exam for admission to law school and then four years of study in the law college make you a lawyer.

I did and it is not that hard - got a couple of law degrees as well. Just a lot of memorising. Cases are easy to learn as each one is a different story. \n\nIf you are logical - you see a list of ...eg ...do 1 then 3 then 4 then 2....(becase law has a lot of these "formulas") and find it easy, then no problem. \n\nNow the practice of law is a lot more boring....too much of that civil procedure bulls*it.....or drafting a 200 page boring document rather than getting any real action....

Do well in high school, then go to college. It does NOT matter what you major in, although many lawyers major in history, political science, and such.  Plenty of them major in the sciences, languages, or other areas. \n\n On graduation, enter into law school (3 years).  Then take the bar exam for the state where you want to practice.  If you pass, you are admitted to the bar, and you are a lawyer.\n\nGood luck!!

Sort of. A lot depends on how well prepared you are for it. If you have a degree in English, Philosophy, Political Science or probably Business, from a good university, you'll probably do well. In my class, about a third dropped out after the first semester. By the 3rd year, I couldn't wait to get out, guess I was bored. It was very difficult for me all the way through. But I had a B.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling. That didn't prepare me for law school at all. I passed the bar on the first try. That was no picnic!For me, Law School made college seem like kindergarten. I went from a 3.9 avg. in college to 2.2 the first semester of law school.

To be any kind of lawyer, you must first get your bachelors, then go to law school, another 3 years.  Then you can decide what kind of law to practice.

Figure on two years of training so you'd need the money to support yourself for 2 years plus whatever the school charges for tuition and books.

It depends on whether you possess a law degree recognised in Canada and your knowledge in Canadian statutes.

In the U.S., most law schools will tell you that you need a four-year degree from an accredited college or university, then most states require a juris doctor from an accredited law school before taking the bar exam. Law School is usually three years, but there are four year part-time programs as well. Each state's requirements are different.\n\nGo to college and get a degree in an field that interests you. Don't do Poli-Sci or Criminal Justice just because you want to be a lawyer, unless that is what you are really interested in. Then decide where you want to practice and determine what the requirements are for that area. Go to a law school that meets the requirements for the area, but choose the school that meets your needs. Harvard will get you a great paying job when you graduate, but most of us couldn't get in, state schools are generally pretty good, will get you average jobs and won't cost a fortune.\n\nCheck out the source link, it is the best source of info on law school.\n\nGood luck!

You can do that, but it's not a double major.  The master's in law will have to follow the bachelor's.  As long as the master's is not getting a law degree designed for the bar exam, the whole run should take about 6-7 years so yes, it is longer and more expensive than a 4 year bachelors degree. A master's in anything is more advantageous than a bachelor's alone.  Be sure the two degrees complement each other though. I'm not sure how criminal justice and business law relate in the job market.

You need to take the LSAT get accepted to a Law School.  Three years later if you graduate you can take the bar exam for your state if it has a bar exam and then you can make just enough to pay off your loans for the next five years.  "Law General" is what most states have but some do offer a legal "specialization".  The best type of law is the type that you are best at or enjoy the most.  My wife does Real Estate because she enjoys it and is good at it.  I do Civil Rights because I enjoy it and am good at it.  It is a personal choice for you to make.\n\nIn Liberty,\nEric H. Smith

you can major in anything at a 4 year undergraduate college, then it takes 3 years of law school to get your JD. After that you need to clerk for at least a year. so youre looking at quite a while before you actually start practicing law.

You can get any degree and still go to law school, however I think a business degree would probably help you because you would understand how contracts work, and how businesses are run.

In the US, you need to graduate froma four year college with a Bachelor's degree; then attend a three year law school to obtain a Juris Doctorate, then pass a two day (in some states 3 day) examination on law and be deemed morally fit.  \n\nThen, on your first day, a client asks you what to do and you literally quake in terror.

Sounds like you're referring to a criminal lawyer.  You'd need a strong English background to hone your communication skills, plus social sciences and anything to do with crime or the law.  Universities with a pre-law program have a curriculum that will guide you better than anything.

In the UK, you can work your way up. You could start out as a clerk or a paralegal, or even as a legal secretary, and study part-time to become a legal executive.  A legal executive carries out much of the same work as a solicitor, and you don't need a degree to qualify for the course. It is even possible to go to university later to do the Legal Practice Course (1 year) and then start a training contract to become  solicitor.
