Whitney’s Answer

Hi Jessica!

Law school is generally three years, after completion of a bachelor's degree. There's a wide range of law schools that one could consider attending. Many law schools require students to take the LSAT or GRE exam as part of the application process. Most schools also publish the average scores of their accepted students, so you can use that as a guide to evaluate schools you may want to apply to!

Christine’s Answer

Law schools are typically three years in length with opportunities to intern during the summer, with potential internship sites being law firms and legal clinics (among others). People who attend law school apply after completing an undergraduate degree in one of a number of areas (e.g., political science, history, psychology, sociology, etc.). The American Bar Association (ABA) publishes a list of programs that are approved by the association. The list of programs and information about the programs can be found at:

There are a lot of good law schools in the United States and by reading about them, you can find a program that is a good match for your interests.

Hey Jessica,

I would recommend attending any in-state school that you can to cut down on cost.

Thanks,
