what do i need to have or know about being a lawyer? hello i am guadalupe and im 15 years old. i just wanted to know what i need be a lawyer

Dear Guadalupe:    In order to become a lawyer, you need to graduate from law school and pass the bar examination. The traditional route is to finish high school, do well in college and then go to law school. If you are serious about wanting to become a lawyer, please study hard. Many high schools have elective classes that include legal issues and/or high school mock trials. If you are looking to become a trial lawyer, if your high school offers debate classes or a debate team, that would be helpful too.    Good luck!     The above-posting is not legal advice nor does it establish an attorney-client relationship between the parties.
