You should apply for an intership with the local district attorney's office. Impress them. Once you get your law degree, apply to the DA's office again. Most likely you'll at first handle misdemeanors but you could end up handling felonies if you are there long enough. Once you have become experienced as a prosecutor, then you could switch sides and open up a private practice to work as a defense lawyer.

Hi JBR, The best thing i can think of, is go to the law firm that you would like to work for, and see if they would have an opening for you after you complete law school. That way you have a job to go to and you will study even harder.

hello laseanlashay, surely no longer; in certainty, going to regulation college to grow to be a paralegal is a terrible theory. many times, you get a particular degree to grow to be a paralegal, or be conscious for the activity with yet another degree to get adventure. inspite of the undeniable fact that, you do no longer many times see somebody with a JD (the degree you get from regulation college) working as a paralegal, or a minimum of having that be their first determination for a job. good success!

find a law firm that has internships available, and work as an intern for a while, and then work your way up through the ranks.
