Can a 18 year old be a lawyer?

Attorneys practicing law in the U.S. must have taken a bar examination. Most bar associations require that a person must have a professional doctorate degree in law from an approved law school before being allowed to take the bar examination. Bars that don't require a degree require extensive apprenticeship under a practicing attorney or judge. There is no actual age restrictions on the bar examination, meaning that an 18 year old could technically be a lawyer, however, with the extensive knowledge and training required, it is very unlikely that anyone that young would be qualified for a bar examination.

Can a convicted felon become an attorney?

Yes, a convicted felon may be allowed to sit the bar in most states. A determination is made by the state's bar association as to the length of time since the offense, the gravity of the offense and the overall contribution said person has made to society. You can turn your life around. For more information, you may write your state bar association and simply ask. They will advise you of their standards. Never simply take someone's word for it who has no affiliation. Good Luck.
