Do you have to finish high school to become a lawyer?

yes and noo. you need a diploma or a GED to get into college.

crap…

you can do it! :D

If you can’t even make it through high school how do you plan to get through college and law school??

That would be the best choice, or if you don’t finish high school at least having/getting your GED would be best.

dumb ^

I think this is actually the best answer ever … not correct or helpful in any way, but damn funny. With some lawyers, you can’t help but wonder.

GED or Diploma, then lots of collage and law school. I know HS doesn’t work for everyone, so you might try an alternative HS. But Being 14 I’m guessing you just finished your Freshman year so I would try to stick it out for another year and see if it improves for your. Collages like to see you finished HS, not just because of the education but it shows you can stick with it more than anything.
If being a lawyer is something your are really interested in start reading up on what it takes to be one now and also what section of law you are interested in.

I will tell you right now tho that its a long road. I have a friend that’s been working on it since she got our of high school 6yrs ago. She did a couple years at the local community college, and then has been working part time as a paralegal (once she got enough college done to qualify for that) and is working on her law degree at a 4yr college. Then I think she has law school after that.

Fake it till ya make it…eh Coleen? Yep my guess is there’s alot of lawyers out there that subscribed to that principal and go on subscribing to it in their law careers. Including those that move into politics….LOL

no i just finished 8th grade and it will only take me two years to finish high school i dont want to drop out i just want to know if i can skip out of high school into college and still get into high school…

im not gonna drop out but im gonna try and skip through it… if you skip into college do you still get a diploma?

lol nice guys :)

im not dropping out of school guys its just a question i need real answers i dont need to be judged!

You need at least a GED to get into college, but to get into a good college you need a Diploma.

Yes firstly you have to clear high school then clear an examination CLAT.Then you have to do a degree of five years in it.It will make you a lawyer. http://funadvice.com/r/3q6ni84mt1

I think you need a GED or diploma to do any short of collage. I know my friend who dropped out in her senior year had to get her GED before the community college would take her for college level courses.

You have to go to college to become a laywer.
