Considering becoming a lawyer?

[Elvalight]

Ok, I know I have a long, long way to go before I actually get a job, but I decided I might as well start getting ideas early. So I've considered being a lawyer, since I've loved law for a long time and I know it'd take lots of dedication if I wanted to even have a chance at it.
I'm no expert at any of the things involved in becoming one, so anything you know about the things involved would be great. I only know most of what I know from what my parents have told me and some research, so obviously I've got a lot of researching to do. I've also considered the FBI, but I don't know a whole lot about it.
Sorry if this is vague, like I said, I'm just beginning.

One of the things you have to consider is that there are various branches of law, so research some more about that, another thing is that you'd probably have to work in the country you studied in, unless you study international law, so consider that.

You could start looking at university web sites - see the law degrees they offer and what they need you to have.

That would be a good start -

Good luck

This pretty much.

It is possible to convert to other jurisdictions, but this usually means taking a huge barrage of exams. Just an example: only about 30% of foreign lawyers successfully convert to the American Bar first time round.

But yeah, check out some uni websites and see what their courses are like. My best advice in the meantime would be to read lots and keep up with current affairs. Perhaps try and get involved in a debating club at your school.

As David said, try to think about what kinds of law you would perhaps be interested in. I know you're a bit away from starting a law degree, but it never hurts to start planning :)
