For anyone considering applying for law schools: itās not as hard as you think it is. But also it does take a hefty amount of effort and work for you to āexcelā in it and not feel like a drowning cat. Especially considering how esoteric legal jargon is. But aināt it just like every field of work? Rule of thumb: it is for you if after enduring the long hours of drilling law reports and books and still feel motivated. At least thatās how I figured out

Also consider what the actual work is like. Classes for most degrees arent really a good example of what the actual work is going to be like. Interning at a lawfirm or courthouse will probably give you decent insights. Then you can also talk to actual lawyers rather than just law students.
I just know that i dont actually enjoy the school part of my degree, but I love the actual job. Early childhood education, kinda. Not in the US, I work in daycare, age 3-6.

The one thing I always wish someone would have said to me is "You don't have to be a trial lawyer."
Because that's the impression TV gives, and while I considered it, I never thought I was fast enough on my feet in terms of speaking to actually be a trial lawyer, and so I was discouraged.
There are whole branches of law where it's mostly just you and your paperwork, and you check over other people's paperwork and do research. It's just not as flashy as trial work to be put on television.

As a 13 year old, my aunt, who was the first to go to college in my family needed a carpool to her university for her class or she would be late. I sat in and I was absolutely sold. I worked so hard in high school and happy to say some years later attended the same college. Surprisingly a lot of universities donāt take attendance and allow anyone to come and sit in on lectures (not an official rule but it is possible).

Iām a university instructor in a law-adjacent field (many of my colleagues are lawyers) and my advice to students is that 1) if you hate reading; 2) you donāt like process and bureaucracy; and 3) you donāt like supporting your arguments with evidenceā maybe rethink why you think you want to be a lawyer.
Sitting in on classes is golden advice!

When i was in highschool they started a program called, "Teen court" and it was ran by all teens except for the judge. Thats was an attorney that volunteered their time. We had real defendants, teens who had plead guilty to their crime but came to our court to have their sentence argued out. I was prosecution my junior year and then D.A. my senior year. I almost seriously considered becoming a lawyer. Had the adults of the group backing me up and willing to write letters.
I ended up with an A.A. and working in clerical. I enjoy it but i often wonder what my life would've been like had I studied law.

Honestly this is good advice for any major/ career path. I graduated from dental hygiene school and 2 years prior I went in to the clinic and was a patient for those students. It was cool seeing it from both perspectives and meeting the instructors so I knew what they looked like before having them as my teachers. I really think for any job itās important to tour the place too and see if you can do a working interview before saying yes.

As a recent retiree, I was not ready to relax and take up knitting. I felt like I still had a great deal to contribute, but I didn't want to rack up huge debt at my age. So I registered for a correspondence course through American Institute of Law and I am LOVING IT! This is the law school of the future for the 95% of lawyers who don't aspire to join a big law firm! No crushing debt means I can charge my future clients less and I don't have to take every case that walks through the door! The course content is clear and concise and there is no energy spent hurrying to classes or memorizing specific cases. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Here are 2 reasons why you should become a lawyer: 1) Nobody f**ks with lawyers! Most of the harassment I have endured in my life would NOT have happened if I was a lawyer, and 2) lawyers can right the wrongs of the world... I was an activist for decades -- never got a fraction accomplished of what I did after I started filing lawsuits!

I loved law school and donāt regret going one bit although I didnāt enjoy the practice of law as much and after having a life changing event about 4 1/2 years into practice I found there were more enjoyable things to do with my time while making money.
I will say that philosophy and math majors typically preform stronger on LSAT which only really matters in helping you get into law school of your choice. A good law school will also help you in passing the bar. I think that combined with my philosophy background helped in passing bar without paying extra for bar prep courses.

If you're going to law school, look at the requirements. I did once. It looked like a hostage taking situation.
