Margaret’s Answer

It is possible to become a lawyer even if you are not an excellent reader. However, you need good reading skills in order to become a lawyer. Apply the passion that you have in wanting to become a lawyer towards improving your reading skills. If you do not enjoy reading, try reading books, articles, and/or magazines about your favorite topics. With hard word you can achieve your goals.

Thank you comment icon my dad is a lawyer and he has to read many papers in a short span of time. I would advise you not be a lawyer if you don't like reading. Also, not all lawyers have to debate so it's not a specific trait you need unless you are thinking of a certain field. karen

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. The legal field is very diverse. You could write appellate briefs if you love to write. Or you could be a trial attorney if you love to speak. Learning to read cases is a very different kind of reading. You will do so much of it the first year of law school though that it will become easier by second year.
