How to Become a Lawyer: Step-by-Step Guide in 5 Minutes! (2023)

In today's video, I'm breaking down the exact requirements of how to become a lawyer in the US!

Note: These are general requirements in the United States and particularly in California where I am currently licensed to practice law. Of course, you should do your own due diligence and check your local state requirements for the state you want to practice in.

Nothing is impossible when you put your mind to it. Im 23 now, I graduated my GED at 22 and now I'm in college for a BS Degree in Criminal Justice. I'm really interested in court cases, laws and overall the court process. My focus right now is criminal investigations which is helpful. I am on the path of wanting to take my bar exam and own my own law firm for juvenile cases. What is your advice love? I love in Arkansas. Much love to you and the video you made, thank you for clarity! ❤️

Thank you Denise! I am a GI Bill student, therefore getting my BA in History later in adulthood than most, so I am game for another 2-3 years of school. The personal note about your friend's dad was inspiring. If you know a lawyer, that can help a lot as they can likely give a more realistic idea of both the work you might encounter or the opportunities that can emerge once a law degree is achieved.

Hi, Would political science be a good major for someone interested in corporate law, or is there another major that might better prepare me for this career path?
