Attorneys have to go to law school, and pass the bar. \nThey can help out a friend, without asking for money in return. Other than that, would you really want someone who had only some knowledge of the legal system, or someone who actually kept abreast of things in the legal system.

In the US, you need to graduate froma four year college with a Bachelor's degree; then attend a three year law school to obtain a Juris Doctorate, then pass a two day (in some states 3 day) examination on law and be deemed morally fit.  \n\nThen, on your first day, a client asks you what to do and you literally quake in terror.

Law is NOT for you.  It's 4 years of undergrad then law school then the bar exams.  After that, most of the next 5 to 10 years is doing research for your law firm or company.  If you don't have the fire, you will get burned yourself.\n\nI suggest that you take a (gasp) liberal arts track for the first two years and explore what sparks your imagination.

A bachelor's degree in Intn'l Relations can prepare someone for:  \n- law school,\n- diplomatic position(s) either with a goverment or an     international body like the UN, \n- elected office,\n\nor if combined with language or C.J. skills:\n- international interpreter,\n- a position with a 'monitoring agency' like the CIA,\n- criminal justice, like with F.B.I., Interpol or Scotland yard,\n- IRS, Border Patrol, or immigration agent,\n\nOr in the business world as a corporate liason or contract negotiator.\n\nA IR degree can be as useful as your planning permits, or completely useless.  It depends on what direction you choose for applying the IR. And, what educations/skills you couple with the degree.  Sky's the limit.  But, be smart.  Develop other useful skills to compliment the I.R. education.

I recommend that you consider doing courses in  HRM, HRD and compensation management. although your LLB will not be of any help directly but will make a useful combination . this qualificatin (HR \ncourses with LLB) has great potential for getting good jobs.

you would have to contact a local university and find out what classes from your previous law degree are still valid here and what others you would have to take.i'm guessing you might have to retake the basic classes such as government,english and history.and then of course take the bar exam to be able to practice law here.best option would be to discuss that with a local college counselor.best of luck to you.

There are a million things you can do with an English lit degree.  Teaching.  Copywriting. Editing. Publishing. Adversiting. Marketing.  You could use your bachelor degree as a springboard for law school.  Don't listen to the retards you tell you to major in business or journalism because those are the only practical options.  Do what you love and you'll find something to do with it.

Why?  Are you considering going to law school?  it's a long, long road.  Some states let you bypass the law school requirement.  For instance, California will waive the law school requirement if you have done 5 years of a qualified legal internship.  Otherwise, three years of law school is required.  Undergraduate degree is a usual prerequisite to getting into law school (again, there are some minor exceptions.)\n\nI am a California lawyer.  Feel free to contact me with any questions/advice you may have.

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.

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.

In Ca. you need an AA Degree with 36 units of law credits then you can go to law school, which only a few are accepting just an AA.  Most times, a BA degree is needed first which is four years at college, then on to law school.  Law school is four years and intense.  The hardest part I think is passing the STate Bar Exam after you're all done and many fail it their first few times.\nYou need to find the laws in your own state.  Get on the web and look for your states bar assiciation and call them, they can give you the criteria or it may be on their web site.  Another way is to simply call an Attorneys office tell them you are interested in becoming an attorney and would like to know what the states law is on education for it...................good luck.............

First, you need to make sure your immigration status will allow you to work, period.  I do not believe that student spouses are permitted to work, so you will need to look into that.\n\nBut in terms of actually putting your degree to use, that's probably going to be harder than it sounds.  Your foreign degree won't really help you to pass the bar exam in any state, and unless you're from the the UK or a Commonwealth country, it's unlikely that you've spent much time with the Anglo-American common law tradition.  The civil law traditions of continental Europe and much of Asia are dramatically different in both structure and procedure.  \n\nYou will probably need to get a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree to be adequately credentialed and prepared to practice any kind of law in the US.  Most law schools which offer the standard JD law degree also offer an LL.M., which is almost always earned by foreign students.  \n\nYour MBA won't necessarily provide you with any particular benefit if you're trying to get into the legal field.  There are some lawyers with MBAs, but it's not that common and not viewed as a big advantage.  You're probably find that it's a lot easier to get a job with your MBA than your law degree, as business doesn't require the same licensure or credentials as law.

Sure. As long as your degree is from an accredited institution. Make sure you also have a high GPA and LSAT scores. Law school admissions is very numbers-oriented.

First, if you want to work in business then you'll need to study a bit of English. You won't be able to get away with writing like you've done here. \n\nBeyond that, the best application for a legal hound is in business adminstration law.  Will you be taking the BAR?  If so, with an MBA you can get a job in just about any company on the planet as a legal counsel.  You're MBA will serve you well.  I guess the question is, have you decided not to persue a position in law?  Are you shifting away from law into business or do you want to exercise both skills?\n\nIf it's both, then legal counsel - especially in the high tech market.

As far as I know, every ABA approved law school requires the LSAT.  And if you really want to be a successful attorney, you need to go to an ABA approved school.  You should really spend some time studying the LSAT and doing some practice tests before you give up.  If you find any school that accepts students without an LSAT (which will be tough) chances are their employment rates and salaries are very low.  Do yourself a favor and study hard to get into an ABA approved school.  You can take an LSAT prep course at Kaplan, and if you don't improve you can take the course again, or even get a refund in some cases.\n\nIf you are serious about becoming a lawyer, you need to be serious about going to a school that will get you a job.  You don't want to spend three years and thousands of dollars to study law and not be able to get a job!!
