How to Become a Lawyer
In the United States, most people become lawyers by first obtaining an undergraduate college degree. After college, you then go to law school (3 years during the day, or 4 years at night). After obtaining a law degree, nearly always a Juris Doctorate, you take the licensing examination in your state. The exam generally consists of two part over two days, the multi-state (really a nationally administered part) and a local part. If you pass the examination, there is a screening process to determine your character and fitness to be an attorney. If that screening process doesn't raise any problems, you're sworn in as an attorney.
