Hi Briley,

You have got a lot of time until law school as that's typically after your undergraduate college degree (your first four years in college/university). For now, focus on developing your passion and doing the best job you can do in your core classes.

(1) Develop your passion - join mock trial, law club, or intern at a law office for fun!
(2) Do well in your core classes - try to get A's in all your high-school classes if you can!
(3) The course in undergrad that is going to prepare you the most is english. Lawyers read and write A LOT. Making sure this becomes easy for you to do is going to help you a lot in the long-term. Both in undergrad and in law school and in your actual job after law school.

Hope this helps!

Hello Briley! Here's a little piece of advice for you - put in your best effort during high school. You see, half the challenge of succeeding in law school is getting accustomed to hard work, and that's a skill you can only master through practice. If your hard work results in high grades, that's a fantastic bonus! Moreover, it's important to be a well-rounded individual: be at ease when conversing with others, feel confident reading a variety of materials, don't hesitate to voice your opinions, and cultivate a wide range of interests. Best of luck to you!

Hi Briley!
It's amazing that you know what you want to do so early! I would recommend looking up who your local state senator is for the district you live in and reach out to them to see if they have a youth comittee or a way for you to get involved. This would be a great relationship to foster as you'd get to learn more about the legislative system and it would also show your dedication as you get ready to apply for colleges later on.

Hi Briley,
To be successful in any law school means you will have to do the ground work.

-Take AP classes where possible. English, Sociology and Law maybe a consideration.
-Volunteer or intern at a law firm, in-house at a company or even a government organization.
-Read articles from reputable legal websites and even the news.
-Try to get your letters of recommendations sorted.
-Search for the law school you actually want to attend and talk to administration about admissions.
-Study for the LSAT. There are classes and books available.
-and lastly work hard in school.
