How many years do I have to attend law school?

Sapphire asked:


For all law schools is it the same number of years or does it depend on the school? Would it be easier if I just got a GPA or something? Also any additional info. would be very much appreciated, like which law school is best.

    4 years for Bachelors degree and law school is an additional 3 years for your Juris Doctor degree.

    Harvard Law School is the best and hardest to get into . .

    You will have to attend law school until you have completed all of the requirements. The requirements will differ depending upon which school you attend.

    Yes, you will also have to get “a GPA or something.” You will need to have a very good GPA and strong extracurriculars. And a hot LSAT score.

    Which school is best for what? There are a number of top-tier schools. You need to decide what your interests are and make your choice accordingly.

    Good luck.

    Huh?

    Law schools in the US are all 3 years for the regular program. Night/part time programs typically run 4 years.

    Your GPA is a number that represents the average of what grades you got in school. Stands for Grade Point Average. To be accepted into law school, law schools look primarily at what your GPA was, and what your LSAT score is. You’ll need to have both to get into any law school. If you don’t have an undergrad GPA, that means you’ve never done any undergraduate studies.

    Law schools are ranked into tiers. 4 tiers in total, with the first tier being the most prestigious group to be in. However, what’s the “best” law school is difficult to quantify. It depends on what you’re looking for. However, it’s never a bad idea to graduate from the top 10 as ranked by US News.
