Bachelor of Arts BA

There is no such thing as a bachelors degree in law (as in lawyer, if that's what you are referring to). At least not in the United States. Typically, an individual pursuing Law school must complete a bachelors degree first. Read the following carefully for detailed information directly from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Formal requirements to become a lawyer usually include a 4-year college degree, 3 years of law school, and passing a written bar examination; however, some requirements may vary by State. Competition for admission to most law schools is intense. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them. Education and training.Becoming a lawyer usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school-4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school. Law school applicants must have a bachelor's degree to qualify for admission. To meet the needs of students who can attend only part time, a number of law schools have night or part-time divisions. Although there is no recommended "prelaw" undergraduate major, prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically-skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the law. Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreign languages, public speaking, government, philosophy, history, economics, mathematics, and computer science, among others, are useful. Students interested in a particular aspect of law may find related courses helpful. For example, prospective patent lawyers need a strong background in engineering or science, and future tax lawyers must have extensive knowledge of accounting. Acceptance by most law schools depends on the applicant's ability to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of law, usually through undergraduate grades, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the quality of the applicant's undergraduate school, any prior work experience, and sometimes, a personal interview. However, law schools vary in the weight they place on each of these and other factors. All law schools approved by the American Bar Association require applicants to take the LSAT. As of 2006, there were 195 ABA-accredited law schools; others were approved by State authorities only. Nearly all law schools require applicants to have certified transcripts sent to the Law School Data Assembly Service, which then submits the applicants' LSAT scores and their standardized records of college grades to the law schools of their choice. The Law School Admission Council administers both this service and the LSAT. Competition for admission to many law schools-especially the most prestigious ones-is usually intense, with the number of applicants greatly exceeding the number that can be admitted. During the first year or year and a half of law school, students usually study core courses, such as constitutional law, contracts, property law, torts, civil procedure, and legal writing. In the remaining time, they may choose specialized courses in fields such as tax, labor, or corporate law. Law students often gain practical experience by participating in school-sponsored legal clinics; in the school's moot court competitions, in which students conduct appellate arguments; in practice trials under the supervision of experienced lawyers and judges; and through research and writing on legal issues for the school's law journals. A number of law schools have clinical programs in which students gain legal experience through practice trials and projects under the supervision of lawyers and law school faculty. Law school clinical programs might include work in legal aid offices, for example, or on legislative committees. Part-time or summer clerkships in law firms, government agencies, and corporate legal departments also provide valuable experience. Such training can lead directly to a job after graduation and can help students decide what kind of practice best suits them. Law school graduates receive the degree of juris doctor (J.D.), a first professional degree. Advanced law degrees may be desirable for those planning to specialize, research, or teach. Some law students pursue joint degree programs, which usually require an additional semester or year of study. Joint degree programs are offered in a number of areas, including business administration or public administration. After graduation, lawyers must keep informed about legal and nonlegal developments that affect their practices. In 2006, 43 States and jurisdictions required lawyers to participate in mandatory continuing legal education. Many law schools and State and local bar associations provide continuing education courses that help lawyers stay abreast of recent developments. Some States allow continuing education credits to be obtained through participation in seminars on the Internet. Licensure.To practice law in the courts of any State or other jurisdiction, a person must be licensed, or admitted to its bar, under rules established by the jurisdiction's highest court. All States require that applicants for admission to the bar pass a written bar examination; most States also require applicants to pass a separate written ethics examination. Lawyers who have been admitted to the bar in one State occasionally may be admitted to the bar in another without taking another examination if they meet the latter jurisdiction's standards of good moral character and a specified period of legal experience. In most cases, however, lawyers must pass the bar examination in each State in which they plan to practice. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them. To qualify for the bar examination in most States, an applicant must earn a college degree and graduate from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) or the proper State authorities. ABA accreditation signifies that the law school, particularly its library and faculty, meets certain standards. With certain exceptions, graduates of schools not approved by the ABA are restricted to taking the bar examination and practicing in the State or other jurisdiction in which the school is located; most of these schools are in California. Although there is no nationwide bar examination, 48 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands require the 6-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) as part of their overall bar examination; the MBE is not required in Louisiana or Washington. The MBE covers a broad range of issues, and sometimes a locally prepared State bar examination is given in addition to it. The 3-hour Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) is used as part of the bar examination in several States. States vary in their use of MBE and MEE scores. Many States also require Multistate Performance Testing to test the practical skills of beginning lawyers. Requirements vary by State, although the test usually is taken at the same time as the bar exam and is a one-time requirement. In 2007, law school graduates in 52 jurisdictions were required to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), which tests their knowledge of the ABA codes on professional responsibility and judicial conduct. In some States, the MPRE may be taken during law school, usually after completing a course on legal ethics. Other qualifications. The practice of law involves a great deal of responsibility. Individuals planning careers in law should like to work with people and be able to win the respect and confidence of their clients, associates, and the public. Perseverance, creativity, and reasoning ability also are essential to lawyers, who often analyze complex cases and handle new and unique legal problems. Advancement. Most beginning lawyers start in salaried positions. Newly hired attorneys usually start as associates and work with more experienced lawyers or judges. After several years, some lawyers are admitted to partnership in their firm, which means they are partial owners of the firm, or go into practice for themselves. Some experienced lawyers are nominated or elected to judgeships. (See the section on judges, magistrates, and other judicial workers elsewhere in the Handbook.) Others become full-time law school faculty or administrators; a growing number of these lawyers have advanced degrees in other fields as well. Some attorneys use their legal training in administrative or managerial positions in various departments of large corporations. A transfer from a corporation's legal department to another department often is viewed as a way to gain administrative experience and rise in the ranks of management.

the correct meaning ofharish can be obtained from sanskrit language from where the now being used Hindi language originated. 'hari' and 'ish' is how one has to break up the sanskrit language to understand its sense. 'hari' meaning lord vishnu and 'ish' meaning the lord.

so the lord of lord vishnu. who is this person?

lord ram (rama) and lord krishn (Krishna), to name a few, are the incarnations or avtaars of lord vishnu.

when ram had to cross the vast sea to enter lanka (in the historic ramayan epic), he built up a shiv ling and offered his prayers to gain victory over the vast water body and the cruel ruler of lanka, ravan(ravana). later the land on which lord ram made this shiv ling acquired the name rameshwaram, meaning the land of ram's deity (ram-eshwar-am)

shiv is the other name and shiv ling is a symbol of lord shankar. so the lord of lord vishnu is no other than shiv or shanker.

Internet findings have shown that many people have put this up as 'hari', the monkey and 'is' 'ish' as lord. meaning lord of the monkeys ie. lord vishnu.

others have put it up as a name of colour.

some have also put it up as: like a hare

the following may have no reference to the answered question but i wish to put it up here. my name is harish and i have personally noticed that the meaning is correct to my character. i personally believe that what ever name a person's parents give to their child has a meaning to its character also.

in these times when we are not so religious or bhaktiful, we must go back to the days of our forefathers when they had absolute faith on God and god men like priests gurus and guru-brahmins and also that those god men were also so truthful in making the horoscope of the newborn that even God used to send goddess saraswati on the lips of the parents to utter the name, their offspring would carry all his life and so that any gyani (learned man) could understand his/her character and take according steps to teach or preach him/her when they are no more for his/her guidance.

* Command of the English language is one of the most important assets one can have. It can help one: * Understand anything else in the World * Become a writer * Teach others * Utilize it as a stepping stone to further studies such as Law School ** At least that's what we did with our BA in English

• Bachelors of Arts - B.A.
• Bachelors of Science - B.S.

Typically the BS program will have research classes. Some schools don't offer both and you just take what they have. They consider a BS more specialized, but honestly even the BS program I am in is not specialized. Psychology is an extremely broad topic and is not specialized at the Bachelor level.
BA

(J.D.) Juris Doctor or Doctor of Jurisprudence.

No you do not need an associates to get a bachelor's degree. An Associate's degree usually takes less hours to complete (about 2 years) than a Bachelor's degree (about 4 years). Many people actually get an Associates degree prior to The Bachelor's as they can take "standard" classes such as English, Math, Foreign language, etc. at a community college where those credits will transfer to a larger University. They can then transfer and only take two years at the major university to complete the Bachelor's. This way they can effect cost savings (Community colleges are much cheaper than the larger schools). Make certain the credits from the community college are transferable to your university of choice before embarking on your Associates. University policies vary greatly on transference of credit. You can get this information by writing or calling Admissions at the university you are targeting for your Bachelors.

• I went to a four year college and have my bachelor. On the other hand my sister has an associate degree from a two year college and she is working on her bachelors degree from a four year college. So I have just one diploma whereas she will have two. But we will be equally knowledgeable.
