Abraham Lincoln had less than 12 months, total in education as a youth. Each school he attended on the frontier, was very small and most often, taught orally. Thus, these schools got the nickname, "blab" schools.
He didn't. His step mother taught him to read, and his father didn't see any need for him to go to school. He was a tall strong boy who was sent to work for the surrounding farms. It was legal for his father to collect and keep his earnings until he was 21.

I am doing exactly that. I have an MBA and seven professional financial designations. I also work as a senior financial planner for the attorney general. The LLM in financial services and trust law will be very useful and will complement my management and investment background

Lawyers spend a great deal of their time reading. Being a better reader makes them more efficient. And they normally have to write briefs and other communications with opposing counsel and their clients.

Absolutely! Those who apply to law school come from a variety of majors. Remember there is no such thing as a bachelors degree in law, and neither is there any such thing as a major in pre-law. Some institutions indicate they have pre-law programs, but it is just a way to endure the student takes the appropriate background course work that might be helpful.

Actually, yes. There is a Harvard High School in Harvard, Nebraska. Harvard is also, of course, the name of the world-renowned university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

There are no prerequisite subjects or degrees for law school admission. However, excellent grades and a high LSAT score are essential.

Take the undergraduate courses that you think will be the most interesting.

Some say Philosophy, English Writing and Grammar, and Political Science might be marginally helpful.

Yes. Any one with a bachelor's degree can go to law school. Once you have completed a BA or BS degree, you will need to take the LSAT test. That is the Law School Admissions Test. Then you start applying to law schools.

Oh boy.

Those grades and that LSAT score are both pretty far below average.

I'm not going to say that you won't get into ANY law school with those scores, but you can probably rule out getting into anything above Tier 4. With the economy the way it is, and recent graduates of the best law schools having trouble finding jobs, you probably want to think long and hard if 3 years of intense study, and debt in the high five-figures (or low six-figures) are worth it for a degree which will by no means guarantee you a job.

This depends on which program you are referring to as each program is ranked differently. I know the business program is consistently ranked in the top 50 programs in the nation by well known publications like Bloomberg Businessweek and U.S. News. Within the business program, Chapman's ranking in entrepreneurship and accounting rise in to the top 15 nationally according to Entrepreneur magazine and Princeton Review.

Expect to spend 400 to 500 per on law school textbooks and study aids. It depends on the course and what textbooks the teacher requires. You can buy your books used online cheaper than at the law school bookstore. Amazon is usually your best option.

The requirements for the practice of law are set by the states. In most states you must have a law degree in order to take the bar exam. A few states will allow you to take the exam if you have practical experience in the field of law.

The SAT Reasoning Test costs $45, whereas the SAT Subject Tests cost $20 per test. Fee waivers are available for those who qualify - just see your school's guidance counselor for a fee waiver application. If you require any other information regarding the SAT prep you can go to this excellent site called www.examviile.com.

Hillary Rodham Clinton attended Yale in 1969 and graduated Yale University in 1973.

Yes, California allows you to take the exam without going to law school. However, you do have to work with an attorney for a number of years.

To be admitted to practice you must take:

1.) the bar exam of the state in which you want to practice.

2.) the MPRE (a professional responsibility/ethics exam).

The Bar exam has two parts: one involving federal law and the other involving the law of the state in which you are taking the exam. Each state has its own way of scoring the exam and its own minimum score to pass the exam.

The MPRE is a multiple choice exam testing your knowledge of the rules of professional conduct; different states have different minimal scores for passing this exam (they range from 75-86).

In the UK, you can -- but in the US college is required before you are eligible to enter law school.

You can! only if you pass with your really high score on your LSAT test, if you get 180 which is the highest score even Harvard University will accept you.

Russian schools tend to start early, as do American schools. While some schools might vary their hours, the school day probably would begin by seven AM. Many Russian schools, especially those considered the best, tend to have longer hours than in the United States; some schools do not finish the day's studies till around dinner time.

Essentially you have asked two questions. First you ask whether the undergraduate school that you attend matters for law school admissions. The short answer is yes. The degree to which it matters, however, depends upon a great number of factors (e.g. relative prestige of the potential aw school, relative prestige of the undergraduate institution). All else being equal, a 3.0 at Harvard will get you into more law schools than will a 3.0 at Arizona State University. This question requires a case-by-case answer. Sorry.

The second question is whether admissions is all about GPA and LSAT? This question doesn't have a definite answer either, but is more answerable than the first. When your test score and GPA information are relayed to potential law schools, most of them plug the numbers into a formula that results in your being assigned a particular score (which of course will be used to rank your application based on probability of admission without consideration of soft factors). Each school will use a formula that weights GPA and LSAT score to a different degree (relative to each other). For example, school A might multiply your GPA by a factor of 10, but only multiply your LSAT score by a multiple of 5, while school B might multiply your GPA by a factor of 5, but multiply your LSAT score by a factor of 10. There is a list somewhere on line that gives approximations of these, but I can't remember where it is. In any case, if you haven't done so, proceed to http://officialguide.lsac.org/UGPASearch/Search3.aspx?SidString= and plug in your current numbers.

Some additional info that I received from a visit at UNC CH helps answer your question. I actually asked the same question while I was there and the dean's answer was pretty much: "We do not look that much into where you went to undergrad at. People have many different reasons for attending the schools they did. For instance some people just may not have been able to afford a different school, they may have needed to stay near by their home town for family problems, or their specific degree was better suited for them at their undergrad school." So if that view is taken at Unc school of law I'm pretty sure it is standardized.

The two main factors in your application are your GPA and LSAT. Your GPA is mainly an indicator of how well you did compared to your fellow students at your school and the lsat is a general "how well did you do compared to other prospective law students on a standardized level." Meaning the lsat conforms all of the applicants to the same scale rather than just comparing how well you did at your school since a student from Harvard who gets a 3.0 is probably more intelligent than a student from ECU who got a 3.5. Does that make sense? Or another example which the Dean also referred to was an applicant from Westpoint was applying and he had a GPA of 2.6. His initial reaction was that the student was an idiot but he checked into the average GPAs of the other students and found that the student was actually alot higher than his fellow students. So it all depends on the school you plan on attending but I would say that if you keep your GPA above a 3.4 and an LSAT above 158, you will have a good shot at getting into any state school unless its a top 20 school such as UC Berkley.

The other factors are the personal statement, academic resume, and addendum. The way I understand it is the personal statement and academic resumes are pretty much tie breakers and the addendum is just a complation of reasons your grades or lsat scores are low and/or your criminal background explanation. The way my LSAT prep book put it is when the schools get the apps, they divide them into three piles once the GPA and LSAT scores are reviewed. The three stacks are definatly getting in, may get in, and definatly not getting in. If there is any room after the first stack, they go through the second stack looking for the best applicants based on their scores and variable qualifications.

A website that you can go to and put your LSAT and GPA in and get a list of schools that meet your qualifications is:

I hope this info helps and exuse any grammatical errors ;-)
