<p>I'll be going to a community college. I really need help on how the process of trying to get into a good law school would go. </p>
<p>Do i do my basics in comm and transfer to state THEN go to a law school?
I don't know how the process work. =/ </p>
<p>My goal is getting into ucburkley law. Is there even a possibility?
How should i go on to achieve it?</p>
<p>maybe if you could spell UC Berkeley you could get in...</p>
<p>^ Don't be a ******bag, people make typo's all the time.</p>
<p>my bad :) but do you know a way? ^^</p>
<p>Law school comes after undergrad education, so you'll need to transfer to a 4-year school and do well there.</p>
<p>Midnightsun, I was talking to phishfan :). Anyway, as long as you do very well in undergrad education, and do very well on your LSAT's, you have a great chance. They will not be to discrimitory of the fact that you went to a CC, so study hard and do your best. :D</p>
<p>Assuming that you live in CA, the UC system is designed to accept transfers from the CC's. They have priority in consideration for admission. See the web page at University</a> of California - Admissions for more info</p>
<p>Most of the UC schools even have a program that will guarantee you admission to their campus. The website is a little confusing, but when you enroll at the CC you should go visit the transfer center and talk to a counselor to find out more. See Transfer</a> Admission Guarantees</p>
<p>If you're not interested in a UC campus, the CSU schools also have programs to take in transfers from CC's.</p>
<p>You should go to the library or bookstore and get a book or two about law school admissions. Regardless of where you go to school, there are things you should do in college to prepare for law school. These books will explain it to you.</p>
<p>Lastly, and I can't stress this enough, you need to get some exposure to what law careers are like. I know there are different types of law practice, but exposure to any of them is a good start. This means getting any kind of job or internship you can inside a law firm so that you can see first-hand what lawyers do. Some people aim towards law degrees without really knowing what the work is like or whether its a fit for them; its better to find out really early if its right instead of spending 4 years of college and 3 expensive years in law school only to find out its not right for you. In one recent survey by the American Bar Association, only 40% of practicing lawyers said they would recommend law as a career. See Legal</a> Career Satisfaction I don't say this to discourage you, I say it to urge you to put in the time early on to make sure its something that's right for you.</p>
