US news compiles rankings of each law school total, as well as specialties.  You would probably have to either pay online for that info, or you can go to a bookstore and thumb through their guide to law schools, they release it every year, and it will have all of that great stuff in it.\n\nReally, if you go to any law school you should be able to take classes on con law, other than just the required classes you have to take.  Stanford, from what I hear, also is pretty good.  If you are looking at con law, is it for civil rights?  You can go to a lot of good schools that aren't top 10 and work in the public sector.  However, if you have loftier goals like working as a judge, etc, you want to go to one of the top 10 ranked schools.  Keep in mind that you can always contact the admissions office for information about classes they offer.\n\nI assume you are putting in your applications this fall to start in fall of 2007??  Because if you are applying for this fall, all the spots are likely filled.  But if you get your apps in in October in the early admissions period, you have a better chance for getting into the school you want.  \n\nKeep in mind that you may change your mind about what kind of law you want to get into once you are in law school.  You can't even choose your classes the first year, you are taking all required classes.  So look into overall qualities of schools, not just the con law program for your decision.  Good luck with your applications!!

I believe you have to complete your bachelors program which is for 4 years. About a year or so before a person wants to be in law school, they have to begin the application process. This includes taking a test called the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). The score on the test, along with the other application materials, helps the admissions officers to decide whether to accept or deny an application for law school. Law school is 3 years. After law school, a person must be admitted to a state bar in order to practice law in that state. A person must pass a special test called the bar exam that tests the person on their knowledge of the law. The test is usually taken a few months after graduating law school. Additionally, state bars require a person be screened for character and fitness to practice before being admitted. In Arizona, students who graduate in May, pass the test in July and pass character and fitness review are admitted to practice in October, only 5 months after they have finished their schooling. Once admitted, you can practice law. To find out more about applying to law school, visit the Law School Admissions Council at www.lsac.org and them four more years for law school.

you need a 2:1 for entry to most postgraduate courses, but just phone the admissions office at Moray House and ask them!

Maths would be a good choice. and check out with the uni she wants to attend over doing A level law - some uni's prefer their degree students not to do A level law beforehand!!\nanother good subject would be business studies, so she knows a little more about how solicitors firms or how self-employed barristers may operate as a business. also useful if she would like to be a partner in her early years!\ngood luck to her what ever she decides.. x\n\nPS. also remember that it is her decision, if you convince her into doing one she doesn't really want to do then she may not perform well or even drop out! even if she wants to do something totally unrelated let her, it's her life! and will still show her commitment to study.

In the U.S., most law schools will tell you that you need a four-year degree from an accredited college or university, then most states require a juris doctor from an accredited law school before taking the bar exam. Law School is usually three years, but there are four year part-time programs as well. Each state's requirements are different.\n\nGo to college and get a degree in an field that interests you. Don't do Poli-Sci or Criminal Justice just because you want to be a lawyer, unless that is what you are really interested in. Then decide where you want to practice and determine what the requirements are for that area. Go to a law school that meets the requirements for the area, but choose the school that meets your needs. Harvard will get you a great paying job when you graduate, but most of us couldn't get in, state schools are generally pretty good, will get you average jobs and won't cost a fortune.\n\nCheck out the source link, it is the best source of info on law school.\n\nGood luck!

Hmmm... I think you would need to become a citizen first. That might take a while, as the government has to check out your background and I think they administer a couple of tests as well, but I might be wrong. \n\nThat could take up the three weeks, maybe longer, as the government has to process it and then send you your citizenship. Then you would have to go to the school of choice, and then register with them and pay your school fees, if the school has them.\n\nI think you'd have to look up the Canadian government website to find out more about citizenship, I'm afraid I don't know much about that.

If you attend a law school on a full-time basis, it should take you 3 years to finish the academic requirements for your Juris Doctorate (JD).\n\nThe pay depends considerably on the field of law that you choose. Top-tier law firms hire the best and brightest of law school graduates at very high salaries - smaller firms pay far less - mom and pop shops pay even less - as do public defenders and state attorneys offices - non-profit organizations and public interest groups can pay almost nothing. Then there are corporations - most major corporations have in-house legal divisions that work with outside counsel to help a company with its day-to-day operations and assist with lawsuits.\n\nThink VERY carefully before you decide to attend law school. You can EASILY accumulate more than $100,000 in debt in those three years - and you'll need a very well paying job to retire that kind of loan. If you're not at the top of your class, you won't be starting out making a ton of money, although the opportunity might well present itself once you've become established.\n\nFor most attorneys, the practice of law is extremely time-consuming, especially in the early years, when you're first starting out.\n\nNever choose a profession because it seems like a good way to "make a lot of money." Choose a profession because it's something you'd like to think you can enjoy doing for the rest of your life.\n\nP.S.: Assuming that it takes you a standard 4 years to finish your undergraduate degree (though that seems to be less and less common these days), it will take you at least 7 years to complete the requirements for a JD. Once you have completed law school, you must study for, and pass your state's bar exam - most law school graduates complete the bar exam preparation during the summer immediately following the completion of law school coursework.\n\nAlso keep in mind that law school admission is highly competitive at most schools (particularly the good ones!), and graduate study (MBA, etc.) is sometimes considered a strong plus for a law school applicant. If you were to elect this route, you would have to add at least another 2 years of schooling to earn a masters, or some other advanced credential.

What and where you study in undergrad is not as important in getting into law school as you may think.  Go to a good university that you like and do your best.  When you apply, they do look at your GPA relative to the school (for example, a lower GPA at UCLA will be just as acceptable as a higher GPA at Cal State LA).  And if you do well at a higher ranked undergrad, it looks great.  Just make sure you are happy with your undergraduate school and major, because in four years you may not even want to go to law school.\n\nBasically, find a school in CO that you like and has a good reputation, where you think you will be happy.  Then do your best and enjoy yourself.  Don't worry too much about that law school admission committee for at least 2 more years.

The professional law program takes three years and leads to the JD (Doctor of Law) degree. A bachelor's (4-year) degree is required for admission to the program. \n\nThe Master of Laws is an advanced law degree, abbreviated LL.M., which is taken after the JD has been earned. It focuses on a specialized area of law. One of the most popular LL.M. degrees in the United States is tax law. Other common programs include environmental law, human rights law, commercial law, intellectual property law and international law. The LL.M. course usually takes one year of full-time study.\n\nBottom line - it will take you 8 years in college - 4 at the bachelor's degree level, 3 in law school, and 1 in your specialty.\n\nIf you are successful in your first year of law school you will likely do well thereafter, but you will have to continue to maintain a high level of achievement.

5 years in Canada.  3 years for you first undergrad and 2 years in an education program.  But, it's well worth it.

hi, i am a graduate student at the university of toronto.  \n\nall you have to do is apply; at least at my school they guarantee funding for all graduate students.  i believe this is true of all universities in ontario, and may be true across canada.  the claim is that admissions decisions are made with a blind eye to nationality.  so go and look up some departments' websites!

First, you need to need a bachelor's degree (or undergraduate degree).  Then need to get accepted into law school  (graduate degree).  You'll spend a total of 6 to 8 years past your high school diploma.\n\nMost law students have an undergraduate degree in Pre-Law, History, Criminal Justice, or Political Science; however, this isn't necessary to get excepted into law school.

There is no such thing as an undergraduate law school. In order to attend law school you have to have a bachelor's degree. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to major in Political Science, Government, etc etc. You can get a bachelor's in any major and still attend law school. However, you must receive an acceptable score on the LSATs, have glowing recommendations, an above average GPA and of course the funds to finance this costly degree.

1) Oberlin\n2) Kenyon\n3) Case Western\n4) Miami U\n5) OSU\n\nI've ranked these institutions as to academic rigor, but you will be very well prepared for law school by attending any of the above IF you take charge of your education by learning to think critically and write elegantly.\n\nAll of the above schools have excellent law school placement rates.
