Learning to spell helps.\nCheck the school websites for requirements.\nAll of them are good schools, but you should go to the school that's the best match for you.  Yale Law School is the best in the United States, though.

Law school would be a good start, most of your polititions are lawyers. I would think you should take some courses in public speaking. Then it is just a matter of getting old enough. You might work as a public defender in the mean time so that you can see the injustice in the system. Then when you are old enough run for a lower office. Thats just practice. Work your way up to you are in a positiona to do some good. Good luck to you.

Both are interesting if you could manage your time. \n\nFrom what you are going to study, you tend to work in business area.. so (business) law is important for owning or being in a business. \n\nHowever, it also depends on your affordability. If the law course costs too much and it does not emphasise much on business law, I think you can study it after you got your MBA. \n\nIn some MBA programme, there is a business law course for you to choose as a compulsory or elective. See what you have in your MBA programme first. \n\nAnd.. studying law, you need time to memories things. Make sure you have enough time to do both. Otherwise, do one at a time.

How about MunnaBhai MBBS ?\n\nThey could all get married and join the name to something nice , Like Ms. Killer can get along with Pain and Dr. Pain would do better with a Pain Killer.\n\nA CutWright could be a sucessful Barbour, or a budding Practioner.\n\nAbout the Lawers, Be whatever the Name, Never trust one, :)

I'm glad you asked that question.\n\nI went to university and studied economics. And then I took an aptitude test (the LSAT, as it then was) on a bet, and got a very high score. And even though my college grades weren't the greatest (they weren't bad, either) I got into the #3 law school (I applied to 3 only of the top 10 and got into them all). So I studied law even though I hadn't any particular interest.\n\nAnd I passed the bar first time, but the law still bored me so I spent 20 years seing the world and making babies.\n\nAnd then I went back to law school in another country for six years, and got 3 more law degrees. And in the country where I got those degrees, and in the funny language they speak there, they call me "Doctor". Which embarrasses me, because I still think the title belongs to a medical person, and my youngest daughter, of the many I have, is studying medicine in London. \n\nAnyway, to get back to the subject, people kept asking me questions about why they were caught up in the legal system, and I didn't want to be rude, and so I answered them.\n\nAnd that's how I got involved with the criminal justice system. Giving free, or relatively free, advice. But the practice of law is a business even more than it is an academic subject or a professional expertise; and I have no business sense and no wish to emulate the late Jimmie Cochrane.

You must have got burned.\nI'm sorry for you.\nNext time check out your courts although we can't pick our judge.\nWe can choose our lawyers.

CPE doesn't exist anymore its the GDL now which is the equivalent. I am surprised if you have been following ilex then i thought you were already doing a legal job of somekind. The problem is, without a lpc, no one will employ you, even as paralegal, academic law is pretty much useless without the procedural basics. \n\nYour best bet, it to ask a local firm if you could just shadow someone who goes to court, or does stuff that you may be interested in learning. It may help your case to do some learning out a practice book in some areas.\n\nShadowing a barrister is popular, but don't know how much weight you could attach to it, but always fun. Go the local county court early and see if you can have a quick word with the duty solicitor.

Who knew that British law professors were as nasty in first year property courses as American profs?\n\nA. Julia is out, as is Stephen and Margaret, assuming they were not on the title (and that's pretty clear, since the land office registered the title to Samantha free and clear) and assuming there's no landlord/tenant law that protects them.\n\nB. see above.\n\nC. Jones retains his leasehold unless the relevant jurisdiction has a requirement that a least of that duration be recorded (and this one presumably wasn't).\n\nD) Haye presumably is within the requirement of C, and thus his lease retains validity.\n\nE. Michael had a future interest which is now a present interest, if the lease has been signed then the same lease recording provisions apply. However, if he has a contract with the previous owner for a lease but never got that lease, his contract is invalid against the new owner, and his recourse, if any, is against the old owner, for breach of contract.\n\nHad the property been register in J&S and executed by both, no difference, except that any Landlord/Tenant consideration would not apply to Stephen.\n\nPS - I hated property class.

you need to have a bachelors...doesn't matter in what.  I found that political science as a major was helpful.  Criminal justice also would be very helpful.  There is no specific program to follow...you can have a bachelors in gym, they don't really care....unless you are applying to a super competitive school like Harvard or something.  Have a good GPA, then apply and get accepted to law school.  Then it will be 2-3 years and you will have a juris doctor. Then you have to pass the bar, and you can practice law.

Attorneys make more money, of course, but it seems like teaching at the university level would be more rewarding in other ways. Both would be stressful. I hear it's pretty hard to find a professorship, though. But a decent lawyer can always find work. If you're serious about pursuing an MA or a PHD in history, don't expect to have an easy time finding a job after you graduate. I'm thinking about going for an MA in literature. I just think it could be depressing to be a lawyer. I heard a good quote from a lawyer, regarding his job: "There are a lot of trees, but no forest."--In other words, you spend a lot of time poring over papers filled with boring little details, without ever dealing with the things that really matter in life. As a history prof, you'd get to spend more of your time thinking about the bigger issues.

Thanks for your comments on my picture.\nYou have put a strange psychological pressure on me to choose your answer as the best one. One of the reason might have been your endeavour (not endeavor...assuming that you're a Scottish lass) to type such a long answer for such a selfish question.\n\nSo my OCD (remember 'The Aviator'?) must be really influencial in getting you 10 points. Wait...\n\nI also want my 10 points in return. ;)\n\nHey someone very close to me has gone to Wigan. Can you be of any help to him? He says that when he walks in the streets, girls say 'Hi' to him. I wonder if it is a natural phenomenon there.\n\nhunk_vineet@yahoo.com\n============================================================\n\nJuris Doctor (J.D., Latin for Doctor of Jurisprudence) is a first-professional law degree typically awarded by an accredited law school in the United States to a student who has successfully completed three years of study in law.\n\nThe J.D. is not equivalent to the Bachelor of Laws degree (LL.B.) awarded in a number of English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Singapore and Australia—that LL.B. degree is an undergraduate degree requiring no prior college-level coursework, whereas a J.D. is a doctoral-level program requiring at least three years of college-level coursework for admission to the program. The J.D. is technically a first-professional rather than a research doctorate, and holders of the degree in the United States do not, by custom, take the title "Dr." in formal address or common speech (see below for historical explanation).\n\nIn all 50 states of the United States, graduation from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association satisfies the academic requirements to take the bar examination. While the law school accreditation requirements of the ABA require students to have three years of undergraduate work before being admitted, the majority of American law schools now are members of the Association of American Law Schools, which requires that law school applicants hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university prior to graduation from law school. Most states require a J.D. degree for admission to practice law.\n\nN.B.: JD may mean Joint Degree.

Dear Kurt,  you can learn all there is you need to become a lawyer, but it would be most difficult to do it on your own--there are approximately 30 different areas of the law you need, the big six are Torts, Criminal Law, Contracts, Property, Civil Procedure, Constitutional law.  Then you need to learn the rules of Evidence, areas of law like estates and trusts, family law, UCC/Sales/secured transactions/negotiable instruments, domestic relations/family law, income taxation, federal jurisdiction, legal ethics, trial procedure, and so forth.  You would also need to learn about legal reasoning, legal writing (including the way pleadings are drafted, how to write legal briefs, how to draft appellate pleadings), how to read and brief a case.  \n\nAnd you would have to do all this using a full legal library to find and get the cases to read--law is taught by directed reading of cases that set forth the so-called "black letter" law.  It is not done by lecture (in most schools).  To do it on your own would be time consuming and perhaps not so fruitful because there are many cases reported in the law reporters that are not suitable for learning what the law is.  \n\nMoreover, most states still require you to go to law school before you can get a license.  So, you are not avoiding the cost of going to school.  Those states that don't require a degree, usually require some school and working like an apprentice for a licensed attorney.  I think only California allows a license by correspondence schools.  Perhaps now with internet learning there are some schools that offer a law degree online.  \n\nYou would do better to find a grant or student loan and enroll in a law school...Also they are pretty particular--you need and undergraduate degree, a decent grade point average and reasonably good scores on the LSAT to be admitted.\n--Lawyer here and instructor in a college....

in the end the good law school will help out significantly. i'd try to visit as often as you can but don't pass up the law school. it'll help all of you out in the future because the good law school will make him a more sought out lawyer if thats what he's gonna become. visit as often as you can it'll work out.

Know? Lots and lots. Most of the required knowledge is covered through the professional degree of Juris Doctor (JD). To earn the JD, in the US you need to get into, attend, and pass law school. Most states require an ABA-accredited school, which is a 3-year program (some do it in as little as 2.5, some 4+).\n\nThen, after graduating, you need to study for and pass the bar exam (one per state that you intend to be licensed in). This is a 2-3 day substantive test that makes sure you know how to think like a lawyer. The specific subjects vary by state, but most of them (though not all) will be subjects you have taken in law school. Most people (including me) spend 2-3 months full time after graduation just studying for the bar. \n\nMost states also require you pass a Professional Responsibility (ethics) test, which separately tests your knowledge of the ethical duties of being an attorney. Most states also require a moral character determination, where you have to convince the state you are ethical, and that your friends think you are ethical.\n\nAs far as general knowledge, public speaking is necessary for litigators and those who want to practice in a court or to teach. Writing and research are essential, and school only covers the rough edges of this. One of the reasons I spend so much time on Yahoo Answers (while studying for the California Bar in July) is to practice my writing abilities. Any practice helps.\n\nBut most importantly, to be a good lawyer (not to pass the bar, but to actually succeed), you need to be able to separate your emotional reactions from your logic. You need to be able to look at issues from many different perspectives, including those you may be personally opposed to. This gives you the ability to prepare not only your side, but to prepare against the other side.\n\nThe same skill applies when representing a client whose views you may not agree with. This is less of an issue in the corporate world, but even there you need to be able to explain to friends and co-workers that your represent the company, not them, and that anything they tell you can be disclosed to the company.\n\nLawyers operate under strict ethical requirements, including absolute loyalty to your clients, candor (truthfulness) to the court and in all business proceedings, and constant studying. Violation of these requirements is grounds for being disbarred, which means potentially never practicing law again. Sadly, many of these ethical constraints get muddied bent and often broken as attorneys practice, largely because that's what other lawyers do and following the rules with integrity puts you at a tactical disadvantage.\n\nIt's a difficult profession, and a long road. Many who graduate from law school use their degree for something else, like politics or corporate compliance, or undergraduate teaching. But the law is like the sea -- some people may hate it, but for others it gets into your blood. Even those of us who hate litigation find other ways to practice, such as being a corporate attorney. It's not for everyone, but at its core it is a noble profession.\n\nGood luck.

Well, speak to a lawyer (public legal aid, considering your current lack of income), and try to get a job. A judge is more likely to clear your record if you show initiative to start a new life.

There's a bit of arbitrary here. In the US, any lawyer who is a member of his/her state Bar Association is a genuine lawyer. And the same is true in other countries as well, though with different terminology. \n\nBut what you're really asking is whether you can find a lawyer who wil actually work on your behalf rather than merely doing a perfunctory jub and then billing. Perhaps so, but you'd be more interested I think, in whether the lawyer was good, regardless of his/her attitude to ward you personally. And there's little way to tell that, unless you can foretell teh future. perhaps comments (idelaly anonaymous) of other lawyers in his/her town. and hope that all their opinions are honest as well as infomred. \n\nBut, since your problem is acute, you may not have enought time to do that. you might want to chekc local media for prior news (local lawyer sentenced for incompetence will be a giveaway, of course) and Google his or her name as well. You might turn up out of state problems.\n\nAnd interview before hiring. See whether you and a prospective lawyer get along personally. The hale fellow, well met cartoon sort of lawyer might not be suited to a shy and retiring slip of a girl client. \n\nGood luck with your problem.

Yeah! Law would be perfect. Lawyers are all crooks.
