What do you need to have by the end of high school to qualify as a lawyer for a business or criminal lawyer?

Would Harvard be a good choice for a university if I want to be that in the future?
Are there any other university’s with high standars for studnets that want online drugs to become lawyers in the future?
You need to have good English and Grammar skills and logical skills. Debate would be good. Languages can be helpful for an attorney but not for getting into law school. Some schools look at extra curriculars and also at volunteering (as with some religious schools).
Harvard is always a good choice but takes a lot of money to go there. Also takes a great GPA and good score on LSAT. You can check out LSAT books at the library and practice on the logic. You can also purchase practice books at book stores as well. You must pass the LSAT and do well to get in law school. It is sort of a combination of GPA and LSAT Some do some political science. You realize that you go to 4 years of college and then have 3 more for law school, don’t you? It isn’t just go from high school to law school. Some law schools have a double program to get a Masters of Legal Letters and Juris Doctorate at same time.
First year of law school is very tough, so hang in there. Plan on 3 hrs of study for every hour of class. Get in a study group. Princeton is good. Many good schools. Lot depends on your financial backing.
it is your undergraduate that should be liberal arts or political science. If Harvard, I’d suggest political science major. Must be able to write well, read very well and be able to think in a logical manner. Better not to be involved with any substance abuse – alcohol or drugs as that gets you disbarred faster than anything yet it is sort of pushed at college and law school. Makes no sense.
Good luck to you.
