What are your goals in life? Twenty years from now, how do you envision your lifestyle? How much time do you want to spend with your family? Do you want to reside in an urban or more rural area? Do you want to be a physician, dentist, pharmacist, nurse practitioner or physician assistant? How about allied health like a dental hygienist or physical therapist? Law can mean attorney, legal assistant/paralegal, court clerk, or court reporter. That's not including law enforcement or criminal justice. First do your research on these jobs. There are different educational levels and opportunity costs. Both physicians and attorneys attend schoo

Yes. The practice of law is really about being a problem solver, and that often takes creativity. If you are a litigator, you need to be able to SEE an issue from all sides, and anticipate as many ways to approach it as possible knowing your opposing counsel will be doing the same. Settling cases takes creativity as well, as you are trying to find solutions that parties with opposing interests (and often emotionally charged interests) are able to accept. If you are looking for job prospective or career growth point of view one year LL. M. is advisable. Most of the colleges or the universities that offer courses in law have their own en

Dear student, Most of the everyday practice of law does not require much if any memorization. However, you are asking whether someone who isn't good at memorization can become a lawyer. To become an attorney in most states, you need to pass the bar exam. Unlike most law school exams, the bar is closed book. There are (at least in Illinois) three components: a writing exercise, a multiple choice test, and a set of essay questions. The essay questions would be most likely to trip up someone with poor memorization skills, because the candidate must state the elements of a wide range of legal tests before applying those elements to the fac

A lawyer is capable of earning several times more than any judge. A lawyer of certain standing, ie the ones capable of being considered for appointment as judge of the High Court, can earn far more as lawyers than they can ever earn as judges, even if they reach Supreme Court level. Becoming a judge brings with it a significant reduction of your earnings. However, what you gain in the process is a great deal of prestige, and the chance to actually make a difference. The position in society that a judge has is far greater than that of a lawyer, and the role he plays is also a lot greater. There is honor and dignity in the position that

Because there is no upper age limit for doing LL.B. Hence you can pursue the LL.B. Course. Most of the admission in LL.B. Course are based on entrance test conducted by respective Universities. There is no short cut for doing the LL.B. Course and if someone are managing, than can be unfit for practcing as lawyer. So 3 years LL.B. Regular is the best option. The TNDALU and its affiliated colleges are also offering the 3 years duration LL.B. Course on the basis of Bachelor degree marks. Hence you can pursue the LL.B. Course as per yours requirements.

Dear Student, There are many types of student in the law school. Let me talk about 3 most common ones.
1. The enjoyers
They are the one who takes life lightly and enjoy the most of it. They usually attend less classes, or attend the one in which the teacher is strict and have a big group of friends who roams whole city day and night. They do assignments at the 11th hour and sometimes skip that too. They are simply having time of their lives.
2. The nerds
They are the one who usually do all the work all the time. They participate in each and every competitions, debates, moots etc. They are the teacher's favourite student. Mostly they are

In my opinion you should perhaps take a look at what area of law you think you'll go into, and then do a brief study on how the available majors will allot special information to you that will assist you in doing it. You might also wish to take a look at how those majors are currently fairing with Law Schools, what are the percentages currently being accepted in those various areas. But I would really recommend that you actually will, in all likelihood, like the areas you wish to study, because like it, or having a kind of an affinity to it, will most certainly increase the likelihood that you will do better than if you simply had a ho
