How would i get into a law school?

Hello,

A law enforcement degree helps to prepare students for the four to six-month agency-specific police academies that act as a law enforcement boot camp. That does not mean that police departments and sheriff’s offices discount these degrees.

To that end, most law enforcement degree programs focus on the application of law to give students an understanding of how to enforce laws. Other key aspects include learning about the chain of evidence and detection of materials to support arrests, as well as the proper application of force given the circumstances.

With an increased focus on community-oriented policing evidenced by many departments, students learning about becoming a law enforcement officer may also take introductory level sociology courses and those on media relations, as well as law history courses.

Examples of courses in a law enforcement degree curriculum include:

Introduction to Criminal Justice

Introduction to Corrections

Introduction to Psychology

Introduction to Cyber Crime Investigation

Introduction to Criminal Investigations

English Composition

Criminology

Criminal Law

Constitutional Law

Policing in America

Modern Policing

Investigative Principles

Criminal Procedure

Evidence and Court Procedure

Law Enforcement Operations

Victimology

Best!

You should consult with a school counselor and develop a plan. You need to complete your general education and a degree. Once completed you apply for a law school and once in you complete law school. After that you take the BAR. Good luck

Law enforcement and becoming a Lawyer might not be the same.
Law enforcement sometimes means being a policeman who makes sure that people follow the law.
A Lawyer is one that works with people to interpret the law and prosecutes or defends them in the courts.
Also, talk to your school counselor about talking to graduates of your school who have become Policemen (or other people your counselor can identify as being in law enforcement) and Lawyers, so that you an get a better idea of which field you might want to pursue.
Send a thank you note to those people who help you.
Good luck!
I will be happy to help further if I can.
