As a high school student what are some books or online courses to take tests and exams on to prepare me for law school that are actually creditable?
I want to be ahead when I graduate. And stand out at the college I decide to attend

It never hurts to build a foundation early! I don' t have any specific books or courses, but if you go to your local library, they can probably point you toward some updated resources. I would encourage you to take practice LSAT exams, as you will need that test to enter law school, and to practice your essay writing skills. This goes toward the application process. Once you are in law school, you will need to continue to develop your testing and writing skills in a legal environment. If you have access to a university with a law library, I would reach out and ask them what they recommend to first year law students- there are a lot of resources aimed at incoming law students. Above all, don't prepare for law school at the expense of your current (high school and undergraduate) academic achievements!

The best thing to do as a high school student is to focus on becoming a strong writer and a strong thinker. The interesting thing about law school is that there is no particular required major or books. It is all about problem solving. Focusing on doing well (and enjoying high school) is really the most important thing you can do now. I have taught countless law students and I can't think of anything that they could read or study at this point that would help. Once you're a sophomore/junior in college, please post this question again. All the best.
