How can I become a lawyer if I studied accounting and business ?

  • I heard that engineers become lawyers too and doctors

  • Answer:

    Yes, you definitely can, and your accounting and business knowledge may actually help you in your Law Career. Of course, you'll need to attend a Law School first (you can see a list of the top ones at http://www.howtobecomealawyerhq.com/top-law-schools/), and pass the Bar Exam. Then you'll get your license, and you'll finally be able to apply for a position in a Law Firm (I wouldn't recommend opening your own right off the bat, as you wouldn't have enough experience to deal with all its aspects). Good luck!

Go to law school. People go to law school with all kinds of backgrounds. I was a philosophy major as an undergrad and I went to law school. There were plenty of people there with business backgrounds. Not many with medical backgrounds, but there were some. There were some engineers too.

You simply need to apply to law school..

Just write lawyer on your Resume! No one ever bothers to check

Some engineers and doctors become lawyers, but so do people who study political science, art, English, computer science, underwater basket weaving -- lawyers come from all backgrounds. Here's how you become a lawyer: 1. Go to college and get a bachelor's degree in whatever you want (accounting and business would both be a great start). 2. Go online and find out about LSAT prep classes, tutorials, and practice tests. Do as much advance prep as possible -- the better your LSAT score, the more opportunities you'll have to get into a good law school. 3. Take the LSAT. 4. Apply for law school (if you did your advance prep for the LSAT you hopefully scored well enough to get into your law school of choice) and get accepted. 5. Go to law school for 3 years and get your Juris Doctor (law degree). 6. Take the bar exam in your state and pass it. After that, all you have to do is apply for a license through your state and pay the fees. Congratulations, you're now a lawyer!

Go to law school. Its not that complicated. Anybody with a college degree and a good LSAT score can go to law school. What your major was is largely irrelevant.
