😊I’m 44 starting Law school too!!! It’s always my dream to be an attorney and everyday the desire to pursue keeps cooking inside me, literally. That means it’s time for me to give birth to my dream of becoming an attorney... I forever kept feeling like I am too old and too late for law school. But this video made me feel so much better. So I thank you for showing us this!!! Hugs🤗

A in international relations with 3 years of teaching experience and can be considered a nonlaw graduate. Should I do GDL or a proper LLB course? Will GDL not make me eligible to practice.?
