What do you have to do to get to Law School and is it worth it?

Question

I am currently in a community college. What do I have to do to get to a law school?

Answer 1

Complete your Bachelor's Degree. The major is not really that critical but it would help to have good language skills, civics, social studies, etc.; in other words a liberal arts major. However, I majored in Zoology and ten years later went to law school.
After your B.A. or B.S., you apply for and take the Law School Aptitude Test. This is a national exam measuring your ability to think like a lawyer. When you get those results, you apply to law schools of your liking and hope to be accepted.
It helps to have a B+ average in college and a 70 on your LSAT. Of course, the higher the better. I scored a 66 on my LSAT with a B+ college career and was accepted to two out of the four schools I applied to. I chose McGeorge in Sacramento, and did the full time 3 year program while supporting my family of seven. I passed the bar the first time and moved on from there.
Best wishes.

Answer 2

You'd want to finish your CC, and transfer to, and graduate from, a 4-year college. Then, you'd want to take the LSAT--it's like an aptitude test for law. Then, you'd apply to one or more law schools, get accepted, go there, graduate, take the State Bar Exam and be a lawyer.
As to whether it's worth it: it's always a gamble, that the money you make as a lawyer is more than enough to pay for you student loans and time spent in school.

Answer 3

You need to go on to a four-year college, take a lot of courses which will build your reading and writing skills, get good grades, and take the LSAT (as a senior) with good scores. I'm a lawyer who doesn't practice law for a living, and I think that my law school experience was definitely worth it. I don't think two days ever go by without my having to use my legal knowledge in my work, and it gave me a much greater understanding of societal issues as well.
