The "best" college for you is the one that best suits your specific, individual needs and preferences.  How do you know which college is the best?\n\nKeep in mind that the "best college" or "best university" for you is one that will maximize your learning potential and knowledge. When deciding which institutions you should apply to, create your own student-centered ranking system. In your personal college ranking system, account for your educational goals and career objectives; the college’s entrance requirements, degree and course offerings, and reputation in the field in which you will earn a degree; transferability of credit; your learning style and preferences; the college’s teacher-student ratios; the campus location, environment and housing options; the availability of student support services on campus (medical services, tutoring, wellness programs); and, finally, the cost (after financial aid is applied). \n\nIn the end, what's going to matter is whether (a) you actually have or will have a degree at the point of admissions to law school and (b) how you rated in the admissions pool.   The issue of  WHERE you earned your undergraduate degree will only be important  IF you intent to pursue a law degree from the same school where you earned your undergraduate degree.\n\nBest of luck!

Berkely is the strongest on your list. UCLA is a good second choice, so apply to both. UC Davis should be your third choice. \n\nIf you don't go to Berkely for your undergrad, try them for your law degree. They have a fabulous, extremely well respected law school.

The best thing you can do is just concentrate on your normal activities and get the best grades you can in school. Be a kid and don't worry about law school yet ... It is at least 12 years away. You are 10 years old - you don't know if you want to go law school or not yet.

before you go to Law school, you need to get a bachelors degree at a college.  So get your bachelors degree in something like business or engineering, or even pre-law!!!

A good first step would be learning to spell and punctuate and/or proofreading your questions before submitting them.  This is becuase being a lawyer entails tons of detail-oriented work.  Then, after your graduate from university (and if you are in the United States), take your LSAT exam.  Upon getting your LSAT scores, apply to law school (applications will require recommendations from professors, essays, transcripts from your undergraduate degree, etc.).  After 3 years of law school, you will have to take the bar exam in the state in which you wish to practice law.  Once you pass the bar, you are admitted to practice law in that state.  You will be a lawyer.

I am very sorry to burst your bubble, but it takes a lot of brains and determination to get through law school. First you absolutely must have a firm grasp of the English language, and even with a spell checker your question is full of errors. If you don't do well in school, why would you want to sign on for 7 or more years of it? \nTo attain a law degree, first you must earn a Bachelor Degree. Then you have to test into law school and go through three harrowing years. Then you have to prove your competency by passing a bar exam.\nIf you like the idea of working in law, maybe you should look into other options within the field. If you're just interested in the money, you can find money in a more reachable field. \nTry to give yourself an honest assessment. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Chose options that fit with those strengths and weaknesses and be happy. Now that's zen. :)

If you have a basic law degree in France, you can go for 1-year LLM.  If you have a basic degree, but not in Law, you can go for  a 3-year JD program.  If you do not have any degree, then you need to do a basic degree first, before going for JD.  Very hard to get into Harvard.  Quite good in English may not be sufficient.  You need to be very good in English to be a successful lawyer in US.\n\nAfter the academic program, you need to sit for a Bar Exam.  In the US, different states have deffierent Bar Exams because you qualify for license to practice in that state only.  You can sit for NY Bar Exam, for example.  The bar exam preparation takes another few months if you are good.  Otherwise, you take the exam again and again till you pass.

bad idea. it is best to go to a law school that is accredited by the american bar association (ABA). This will help you not only find a good job as an attorney, but will also allow you to take the bar exam.  Going to law school is a great idea, but you must go to an ABA accredited school if you truly want to learn the law and have an easier time finding employment after you have gotten your J.D.  In addition, it is best to try to go to a law school that is first tier prior to going to a law school that is 2nd, 3rd or 4th tier.  The tier system in ranking law schools (see US News and World Report because they have the rankings for law schools) will determine even what firms will give you a shot. I attended a first tier law school accredited by the ABA and do not regret my decision. Best of luck searching for law schools and in your legal endeavors.

Go to prison. Most large prisons have law libraries that a university would sell its soul to have.\n\nPlus you will have lots of time to study and will be supported on tax dollars. When you get out start a prelaw course of study.

None, really.  Law school is a graduate-level school, so that means you have to go through a four-year university first.  Thus, no law school is going to look at your highschool transcript.  That said, you'll probably want to take as many A.P courses as you can in a variety of fields (A.P European History and A.P English Literature are great at sharpening your critical thinking skills).  That way, you can apply to better undergraduate colleges (and be better prepared for them) so that you can eventually move on to better law schools.  Regards.

In Ca. you need an AA Degree with 36 units of law credits then you can go to law school, which only a few are accepting just an AA.  Most times, a BA degree is needed first which is four years at college, then on to law school.  Law school is four years and intense.  The hardest part I think is passing the STate Bar Exam after you're all done and many fail it their first few times.\nYou need to find the laws in your own state.  Get on the web and look for your states bar assiciation and call them, they can give you the criteria or it may be on their web site.  Another way is to simply call an Attorneys office tell them you are interested in becoming an attorney and would like to know what the states law is on education for it...................good luck.............
