Question

Answer 1

From the perspective of the NCAA, I think you could, but it is likely that the law school won't approve it. At least in California, the rule is that you can't miss class more than three times (this is a rule of the state Bar Association, not of an individual school), and it is often difficult for student athletes to avoid missing classes due to travel responsibilities. Also, if you will be in law school full time, they may not want you to commit to something which takes as much of your study time as does an intercollegiate sport.
