Hi Stephanie, it great that you have shown interest in studying law in future and this will definitely be a great decision for you. First you should prepare for the entrance exam that is going to be conducted in multiple universities, after clearing the entrance exam the college according to your rank will be alloted to you. Thereafter you will get a chance to chose your niche area i.e. it can be civil,criminal or environmental law.

Job’s Answer

You will have to graduate college. Then take the law school admission test called the LSAT, and do well on it. Take prep classes, use books with sample test, really prepare for the test. The test determines what law school you get in. They also look at your grades and extracurricular activities. The better the school the higher the grades at LSAT score required.
In college I would study environmental science as well as either political science or logic. I would join The debate club in college because it will teach you how to research and present arguments on both sides of the issues you debate. Trial attorneys make the most money. How's the trial attorney for 25 years.
My advice on how to get good grades is the following; read the assignment, highlight the important passages as you read, finish the reading and then make it outline of everything you've highlighted. Do that for each assignment, and when you have tests get out the outlines and make a brand new outline covering all the material. If necessary make flashcards from that second outline and use them to study. I did this for two reasons first of all when you write things three times you were supposed to remember the much better. Second at each new outline you are condensing the words so what makes you understand what you're talking about.
Best of luck
