4 years full time college for your undergraduate degree\n3 years (days) or 4 years (nights) law school\n\nTotal 7 to 8 years\n\nLaw school does not teach you how to be a lawyer, only what you need to know about the history of the law and present developments so that you can pass the state bar exam.  \n\nYou may be able to select a few elective courses during your law school career that may be of particular interest to you, but you will not be taught a specialty.  That you can only learn on the job.  There are small, medium and large law firms, sole practitioners, in-house corporate attorneys of every type and kind, and government attorneys...the possibilities are endless.  GOOD LUCK!

Many elected officials are lawyers...and they write the laws so that a normal person can't really understand what the hell they mean. So then you need a lawyer so you don't get screwed.

If you go into a law career, you're going to have to learn to spell and write clearly.  Well, clearly for a lawyer, anyways.  Full, complete, and correct sentences.\n\nWith a law degree, you can work in a law firm, for the government, for large businesses, or in politics.\n\nHope this helps.

You need to have a Bachelors degree first, then graduate from an American Bar Association accredited Law School.  After graduating from the Law school, you must then pass the states Bar exam of each and every state you wish to practice in.

There are no qualifications for the position. The President nominates someone and the Senate approves or disapproves of him. However, since the advent of the modern law school (relatively recent), basically all the justices have had law degrees. James F. Byrnes was the last appointed to have not had one.

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.

Do well in high school, then go to college. It does NOT matter what you major in, although many lawyers major in history, political science, and such.  Plenty of them major in the sciences, languages, or other areas. \n\n On graduation, enter into law school (3 years).  Then take the bar exam for the state where you want to practice.  If you pass, you are admitted to the bar, and you are a lawyer.\n\nGood luck!!

The Legislative brach (Elected Representatives ie;congressmen) Makes the labor laws. \nThe Dept. of labor (acting mostly on tips) enforces the laws through fines, arrests, revoking liscences.\nThe Judicial branch Hears the cases made by the Dept. of labor and people apealing their cases against the Dept of labor then makes rulings about which side was acting within the law. They also decide if the Dept. of labor was honoring constitutional rights of all involved.

Senate and House of Representatives

No one can expect all 500+ Representatives and Senators to be experts on all topics.  Each of them are assigned to multiple committees; these become their specialties.  These committees then explain the intricacies of each topic to the members of other committees.  They then make their votes, often trading support to gain votes for bills they support.

you need to complete school and write an entrance exam for admission to law school and then four years of study in the law college make you a lawyer.
