How to become an attorney?

Career: Attorney

To get a job as an attorney, you need to have significant qualifications, including extensive education and licensure. First, you should pursue a bachelor’s degree. While pre-law programs exist, law schools do not require any specific major for attendance, though you may want a relevant dgree to the field of law you wish to practice. For example, earning an MBA and then practicing business law. Then you must apply to an accredited law school and pass the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). During law school, you get practical and theoretical training, and decide which field of law you wish to practice. In order to practice law in the United States, you generally need to pass the bar exam, and the test can vary depending on the state you are practicing. After passing the bar, you can legally begin working as an Attorney.
