Yes, we are all going to become lawyers one day! Even though your school may be small and lack difficult classes, there is always online options you can check out. This is always something I’ve been worried about affecting my career because I go to a small school as well. Recently I’ve gotten the opportunity to enrol in challenging classes along with extra credit classes online, and all I can say is it will definitely benefit you if you check it out. I don’t know about anywhere else but if you live in Canada all online courses are absolutely free if you sign up with a school counsellor!!

@@nimrazaman5957 In the video, she's explaining the steps that you have to take in order to become any lawyer including a criminal lawyer. 1. After you graduate from high school, you have to go to college. Upon graduation from college, you get a 4-year bachelor of arts or science degree. 2. After you graduate from college, you have to go to an aba accredited law school. Law school is a 3-year professional school. 3. Between your last year of law school and the year after graduation (generally), you have to take the MPRE exam, the Bar exam, and the NY law exam or an equivalent for another state. You have to take all of these steps before you are considered for admission as a lawyer. 4. You then have to complete the application and go through the character and fitness process. She explains each step thoroughly in the video, but you have to do all of that before becoming a lawyer. Is that helpful?

You graduate high school (with GCSEs and A levels), then go to university and earn a bachelor's degree in whatever subject, take the LSAT, go to law school and graduate, take the bar exam, and become a lawyer? If so, then I don't understand the going to university and earning a bachelor degree on whatever subject and then going to law school, I thought that you took the LSAT to enter a law collage at university and then graduate and take the bar test... Isn't law school the same as a law collage?
