I like your eye patch. Makes me think this is what Solid Snake would look like if he decided to be a lawyer instead of a secret agent spy. Unless he still is a secret agent under cover as a lawyer.

I’m 13 and I’m rlly excited this is gonna be my dream job that’s why I’m getting my grades up and trying to be as successful as I can

The Japanese who passed the New York state bar exam this time entered the LLM of a university without studying law in his home country, and for some reason he was transferred to JD after that, and finally passed the examination on the third attempt. Many Japanese people have doubts about this fact, so I hope that you will take up this issue from the perspective of the American people. There is no doubt that viewers from Japan will be interested and the number of RU-vid views will increase explosively, so please consider it.

Currently prepping for step 6 and the notes I took for your 1L Torts class have really come in handy. I, for one, am grateful for the time you took with all your previous students and the help your videos provide current and future students. You rock Prof. Baez!

Thank you this a little bit helped me

Great video. Was a paralegal for 3 years. Fascinating industry. Lawyers don't get enough credit for the work they do.

Thank you for this, it was easy to understand. I’m 14 and I have decided I wanted to be a lawyer I have been always been interested in law and teaching. I’m right now with my highschool doing an associates degree program and trying to figure out what would be the next steps after highschool. Thank you

good information brother. Thank you

I want to be a lawyer. So thanks for sharing... 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

I got the book “getting to maybe” I’m planning on both being a lawyer and a doctor. I’m planning on getting multiple degrees and doctorates. But that’s just me. I also plan on going into the military after getting my first two degrees (planning on double majoring for both my law and medical degrees). And than after getting perhaps a masters in both I will go into military. (Should take me around 5-6 years, if I’m capable counting residency for being a medical doctor of course, and perhaps an apprenticeship with a law firm if that’s possible, but not necessary of course). Maybe just get a Juris Doctor degree in law, and an md so that I can become a general practitioner doctor.

My spring break isn't good but classes and instilled, and I did know have class this year getting different

This video is so helpful, thank you

Thank you! I’m over a certain age and I want to pursue this. Thank you.

Thank you 🖤

I was in some criminal justice classes in college but now I just turned 26 and haven’t got a college degree yet It would be a life long dream to become a lawman . My grandfather is a retired CO and grew up around him talking about the law and famous inmates that he has met. Still debating if this is right for me . in highschool English was my best topic, the only thing stopping me from pursuing this is myself . Thank you for this video and relighting my insights .

Perfection good advice.

Very informative video! Thank you!

starting on step 2 now wanted to be a lawyer for 10 years now

Hey! I’m currently in middle school and I have my mind set on being a lawyer! I’m in M.E.R.I.T. Which is a gifted program with only 4 classes per grade for it. And I argue well so my parents say I would make a great lawyer. I’m a great person and I listen to teachers ect. I’m going to go to a really good university and then go to law school once I graduate I think it will be amazing money and a cool job and a nice house and two golden retrievers I don’t know if I will pass first time around but I def will try law school

Thank you

Thank you Sir!

Pursue a bachelor's degree in any field of your choice. There are no specific undergraduate majors required for law school admission. However, courses in political science, history, English, or business can be beneficial.

Eyepatch = instant respect

"Accelerated law school program" that's how you can do it. I'm going to see what Florida law school(s) have this. .... There are only 3 of them in the whole state (Nova is not one of them)

Can you make a video on international students who want to study law in the US? Should you do a llm or if you haven't done your llb you should do your JD? What if you have already done JD in your country should you pursue a JD in US?

Excellent and very useful 👍 Thank You

Good morning and happy Saturday

Im a kid growing up to be a Laywer so im watching this

Poly sci major. Target is constitutional law. Only 6 more years of school lol. But ill only be 29 so thats fine thanks for the guidence

Hello! First of all I would like to thank you for creating these whole series of law school related videos😊 It really helped me a lot! I'm a university student in South Korea who is considering going to a law school in States so the information that I can get access to are sadly relatively limited :( Anyways, If you don't mind, there are a few questions that I would like to ask. I know that the two most important factors in getting into a lawschool are your LSAT score & GPA but are there any extra-curricular activities that you believe would benefit in terms of applying or maybe even getting through the law school years? Also, I already took a semester off(this was basically to rest) and I'm currently planning to take one more for an internship. Do you think that it will be still worth to have some sort of work experience while graduating a year late compared to other students? Thank you so much in advance! (P.S I'm a non-native speaker so there might be some mistakes. Hope you'll understand it)

im 17 and just graduated highschool, gonna do everything i can in college to gget into a good law school and im not gonna say its my dream because i know im gonna do it and study for it because the end goal will be so sweet.

If it weren’t for my struggles with dyscalculia, I would’ve been a lawyer, I love this career ❤️🙏..

Thank you so much!! I loved the tip that you gave 6:23 Can you please make a video with advice like that? I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in law, but I’m kind of intimidated because I don’t know what path to really take. I come from a poor family so I don’t really have anyone to help me with this kind of stuff. First video I watched of yours and I’m already subscribed:)

I really wanna be a lawyer, I hope I become one

I'm thinking of going this way.

This is very interesting and makes me wish I had done more with my life. I realize at 24, it could still be done. It is a little more difficult since I have wasted the last six years of my life. It is certainly something to think about. Is there any chance you can continue this with a part II? What usually happens once a person becomes a lawyer? I am sure they don't immediately start their own law firm. How does the career path usually work? At what point does a person decide if they want to become a criminal lawyer or civil lawyer? It appears there are many opportunities as a lawyer.

Kind of got dark when you talked about the guy who was a murder. Great job on the video and thank you for the info 🤙🏽.

Most prelaw ppl I met were poli sci, not sure if they thought it would help them or if they were genuinely interested

I have a question, I’m an active duty military member, how hard would it be for someone like me once I transition back to the civilian world to go to law school?

Great and informative video! For those applicants who have graduate degrees, do law schools consider graduate degrees (and graduate GPAs) when determining student admissions? Or, do they only consider undergraduate degrees and undergraduate GPAs when determining student admissions?

I'm am working on It's

Me too

Can definitely provide can go too college yes or no

Thank you for this video! Wouldn’t it help to major in political science to go to law school after?

Do have a lot of questions on It's

Would ptsd from the army or having a ged exclude you from being a lawyer I had a 32 on my ACT but chose the army instead of college

Hey Learn Law Better, I plan on taking do my Undergraduate in Aussie and then hopefully do law school in the states. Do you think it’s worth doing a Bachelor of Law (LLB) in aussie and then do JD in the states? Or just do a degree that I’m interested in strong at (based on high school results)

Me being 13 and trying to study be a lawyer like 👁️👄👁️

Thanks , I have another question , are the courts responsible to let the client know of their decision and the amount of time to obtain new counsel ?

Professor Odin!

What about by the readings law

I am surprised MPRE was not mentioned.

How do you know when you want to be a lawyer as well

Yes I'm am there's for class

May I ask what law school and college you went to?

I am ready for law school and law

May God be with you

I've got a question sir. After graduating high school i went to a two year college and failed my entire first year and was placed on academic suspension. A couple years ago i applied for academic clemency and was granted it. i now have a 3.5 but would this affect me negatively when applying to law school? I still have a couple years before i get to that point but i just wanted to make sure.

Why am I getting Slade Wilson, that dude from Arrow, vibes from him.

Sir, what is the best route a foreign lawyer may take to acquire license to practice law in the United States? Thank you so much.

Hi there, am a student in Scotland who plans to immigrate to the United States after graduation and I was wondering would my degree still be valid in applying to an American law school? Also thanks for this informative video as it has helped me a lot in knowing what to do.

What if I attend Berkeley which is known for extreme grade deflation? Would it affect me later when I play to Yale or Harvard in the upcoming years since it’s so difficult to acquire an A in Berkeley classes or will those colleges understand that grade deflation a really big thing within certain university’s

Hi guys! I'm a teen right now and I don't know what I want to be in life. Ever since I was 6 years old I always wanted to be a pilot, then I dreamed of being a lawyer, doctor or just be a businessman. I hope I find my true calling soon

Hello sir I am 20 years old and attending community college at the moment before I head to a 4 year university to earn my bachelors degree. Would a degree in computer science be beneficial for me to get into law school or should I focus on a different major instead. Thank you so much for reading and have a great day!

I have a question, my last 3 years in high school were horrible, i have a horrible 2.9 gpa, im planning on going to the state college, would that affect me on getting to law school? If i do good in college, would that help me with the law school admissions and all that? What does undergraduate gpa means?

Hello, I hope I'm not a little late on commenting, I just had a quick question hope you reply hahaha... does the type of college matter for when you apply to law school? like for example, a top university vs like lets say a community college, will it affect you applying to law school?

When taking llm in the United States, does LSAT also required for that program? Thank You

im just taking the advices here, maybe philippine law is different from US law right sir?

3:37 two years?! How sir? I'm in South Florida will Nova South Eastern University let me do it (finish law school) in two years?

Did you miss the apprenticeship part?

What are my law school admission options if I have a low undergraduate GPA?

I was born and raised and currently residing in a 3rd world country. Ive been wanting to become a lawyer in the US. I know that its not gonna be an easy way up there. I have to work my pathway to get to the states and become a citizen, enter law school, pass the bar and become a LAWYER. I DUNNO HOW ID DO IT BUT IM POSITIVE THAT SOMEHOW I CAN DO IT. I CAN PERCEIVE IT THEN I CAN MAKE IT. HOPEFULLY!

Soy abogada en República Dominicana, me encantaría poder hacer una pasantía en Estados Unidos

Wait so if you transfer colleges...do you still send the official transcripts of both colleges? Or do you send one official transcript from the college you graduate from?

I‘m thinking of moving to the US in the future and become a lawyer but is that even possible for me, because in Switzerland after 9years of school I will work for three years and after that I can go study at the university or continue to work... But as I mentioned before I wanna move to america and become a lawyer there. Do you know if there is any chance for me to do that in the future? Thank you!

Hello Sir, Good to see you. I am a freshman on your page and have a question. Is it possible to become a lawyer in the United States with bachelor Digree in law from an Asian country?

Hello, is it possible to practice law if you are a foreign student, but you are going to get an LLM in the USA.? Do I need to study again with JD?

Learn Law Better , hi I’m a 26 year old guy and I live in Florida . People have told me my whole entire life that i would make a great lawyer ( I’m a good talker , I can win just about any argument, this & that , lots of reasons etc. ) .

With all that being said do you think I have a chance or what’s some advice you can give me ? , anyways tho great video I’m happy I watched it :) !!

I’m gonna get my MBA before applying to law schools.

So I'm 13 in 8th grade, and I want to be a doctor, or an astrophysicist, or a lawyer. I am extremely confused what to do but I'm just going to bring my grades up for now XD

Do I have to be a paralegal or intern before applying to law school?

I'm worried I'm in middle school and I have had my heart set on becoming a lawyer, but I don't really have good grades I'm only in middle school though does it matter?
