ABOUT THIS WEBSITE   This website enables college students to decide whether           THEY WANT TO BECOME LAWYERS and guides to law school those who do.   TAKE A PRACTICE LSAT SOON. The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is, for many prelaw students, the biggest obstacle between them and admission to a suitable law school (in fact, between them and graduation from a suitable law school). Taking a practice LSAT today may well put the fear of the LSAT into you. This is a good thing if it encourages you to prepare early and often for the LSAT. Actually we are not urging you to take the whole practice LSAT today; let alone in one day. But on a day that you have some free time, we are just urging you to take one of the four multiple-choice sections of the LSAT. Officially for each of these four sections, you are allowed 35 minutes, but on these early practice sessionns, for each section, take all the time you need.      .        Google The Official LSAT PrepTest (PDF) to obtain the June 2007 LSAT with answers.       THE PATH FROM ENTERING COLLEGE AS A FRESHMAN TO GRADUATING LAW SCHOOL This path should, in theory, take seven years: four years to earn a Bachelor's Degree and three years to earn a law degree, the Juris Doctor (JD); in addition to the standard three-year JD, Some law schools also have a four-year part-time program leading to the JD degree. This path to the JD involves PRELAW PREPARATION, which includes doing well on the LAW SCHOOL ADMISSION TEST (LSAT) and OTHER ADMISSION FACTORS (e.g. GPA), and determining WHEN AND WHERE TO APPLY.      ACADEMIC RESTRICTIONS ON A PRELAW STUDENT  CHOICE OF MAJOR In theory, a prelaw student faces no restrictions on the CHOICE OF MAJOR and no restrictions on the CHOICE OF COURSES, but the choice of major and the choice of courses should be given serious thought and should be discussed with family, prelaw advisors, and academic advisors. The proper choice of major and courses should lead to a high UNDERGRADUATE (UGPA), a few strong LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION, a decent score on the LAW SCHOOL ADMISSION TEST (LSAT), the acquisition of important SKILLS VALUES, AND KNOWLEDGE that will provide a sound foundation for law school, and a Bachelor's degree in four years or less.     WHEN AND WHERE TO ATTEND LAW SCHOOL At or before the end of the junior year, it is time to think about WHEN TO ATTEND LAW SCHOOL and WHERE TO APPLY TO LAW SCHOOL. Later it will be time to focus on WHICH LAW SCHOOL TO ATTEND.  SPECIAL TOPICS In the appendix, we also consider several SPECIAL TOPICS.
