All lawyers need a license from the state in which they want to work. To get a license, people need to get a college degree and then go to law school for 3 years. Finally, lawyers must pass a test called the bar examination.
Even after they start working, lawyers need to keep on learning about changed in the law, Most status make lawyers take classes from time to time.
To start getting ready for this job, students can take English classes to learn how to write, do research, and make presentations. Social studies classes teach about research and the law. People who want to be lawyers also need strong reading skills.
People make fun of lawyers but to be a good one you really do have to know your stuff.

ReplyDeletefollowin you!
ReplyDeleteI've thought of becoming a lawyer. Too much school involved.
ReplyDeleteWow, man I don't know if I could be a lawyer. The bar exam looks so hard.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure all you *need* is to pass the bar to legally practice law in a state. The schooling probably helps, but if you can pass the bar without school I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make you go.
