Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
I wanna go to lawschool too. But I dunno bout scholarships in US or whatever. In Egypt, or Lebanon you can get financial aid.
And lawschool dont need scientific people, you should be really good in litterature, english in general (writing, debating, etc.) Beeing a lawyer is all about debating, and since you're persuasive, you wont have any pprobs. And law school= hard work! memorizing laws, making sure your client doesnt get sentenced to death,lol.

hEy! my dad is a lawyer... and you have to do allllot of work! i remember he told me that when he was in law school he would wake up at 5:30 am to study! you dont have to be advanced in math... because law dosnet have much to do with math. law school is hard work, long, and expensive... but def. worath it... you can get scholarships depending on the school, your gPa and etc... but go for it gIrl!! and good luck!

The top thing colleges look for (probably more so law schools) is if you were captain of your debate team. I strongly advise you get into debate if you want to get into a good law school, because it teaches you the basic foundations of knowing your argument with research and good tactics. hope I helped.. :) if you need any more advice I'm always around.

I don't know myself but I do know where you get the info you need. School guidence counsler.They can let you know what you need before you get into college too.
Another thing to get is a college handbook.It will tell you all the classes and pre-requsites to get a law degree.I do know that it will be a lot of hard work.Good luck!

i dont no if this would be much help but i do know you have to memorize stuff like the constitution and the bill of rights. basically, history is the main thing you will probably need to know to be a lawyer!

If you don't know where to start, interview a lawyer in your area on their educational background or interview one online. Here's a website of experts you can search for:

You can also look in the yellow pages for a local lawyer.
I'm guessing for class requirements you don't need a lot of math...probably basic math classes like algebra through trigonometry. Usually lawyers take a lot of communications and english classes I believe.
I hope this helps!
