What trainig do you need to be a lawyer?
Generally, one needs a college degree, followed by three years of law school at a school acreditted by the American Bar Association. Additionally many prospective attorneys participate in an intensive review of law school to prepare for a difficult examination referred to as the bar exam. After passing the bar examination (or in some instances prior to taking the exam) there is a committee appointed by a state's Supreme Court to do a detailed investigation of the attorney candidate called the Character and Fitness Examination. After that a person is sworn in as an officer of the court and attorney at law. Few new lawyers, even after that preparation are ready to practice without gaining experience working with veteran attorneys. It takes a number of years to discern the difference between the theories of law school and the realities of life as a lawyer. In reality, as the law continues to evolve even as it strives to provide certainty to people trying to live within and obey the law. As a result, life as an attorney is an ongoing educational experience, and the reason it is called the practice of law.
