What is some advice for a law student to be?

My advice would be to get very good grades in college and try to get into the best law school possible that has legal clinics or classes in areas of interest to you. While in law school try to get the best grades you can because many employers will ask for your transcript and will only hire you if you had very good grades.

Also- do not get to wrapped up into what kind of law you want to practice this very minute. You don't have to decide today- just research and think about it. When you get to law school and take classes your interest may change. Many people go to law school and after being exposed to different classes change their minds.

There are many different areas of law: You can work for a large law firm, a small firm, a non-profit, a company, as a district attorney or criminal defense. You should research this.
