how many years is there to be a lawyer?

Hi Jose:

The educational time for graduating from law school is normally three years. Some of the universities, that have law schools in your region are the University of Wisconsin and the Marquette University School of Law. Law schools really do not have a specific major or concentration in regards to undergraduate requirements. But some universities do have specialization majors in pre-law, which is something to definitely consider. Admission standards include having a bachelors degree from a four year university, and scoring within the law school requirements on the law school admissions exam (LSAT). There could also be some more requirements depending on where you decide to attend. I have seen many students take majors or classes in areas which will orient them in the subjects which they will learn in law school. This includes classes in history, constitutional law, government, business organizations, and public administration. You will eventually choose an area in which you will want to practice. This will include various areas like criminal law, civil law, administrative law, business law etc.. I would begin your path by researching what your state has regarding law schools and their specific offerings for classes, and their admission standards for students.
