Law schools in Florida
I am only seventeen years old, and have had an intrest in law for many years, as it is my junior year in highschool I think it's time to start looking at schools. I have lot of encorugment from my law teacher who was a family attorney for 37 years and my ex drama teacher who had 2 Doctories. I live in Florida, and have somewhere around $100,000 in college paid for, but, it must be in Florida. I took a pre-LSAT given to me by my law teacher and scored a 155, which I was told was very good for someone my age. I have not taken my ACT's or SAT's yet. I was wondering your opinions on good law schools in Florida and if I should attened a specialed college for my pre-law traning or going to the local community college?

At seventeen I can almost certainly guarantee that your mindset will change over the next 3-5 years. Get through a majority of your UG coursework before you even consider law.

Franklin is right. Finish high school, take some classes in undergrad, and see if you change your mind by then.Ben Franklin wrote:At seventeen I can almost certainly guarantee that your mindset will change over the next 3-5 years.

For college, there is only one rule if your heart is set on law school: Unless you're talking about Yale, Princeton, or Harvard, go to the least expensive school you can and study whatever will give you the highest GPA.

A paralegal certificate is very helpful. Especially if you're certified by Florida Coastal School of Law, that boosts your LSAT score by 10 points.

Re: Law schools in Florida
Get a 4.0 and come back to TLS during the spring of your junior year.
For Florida... FSU/UF , Vandy, T14, or don't go.

Re: Law schools in Florida
If serious:
Go to a Community College for your first two years. Get a 4.0 GPA. Transfer to UF/FSU. Get a 4.0. Come back to TLS during your junior year and prep for the LSAT. Settle for nothing less than a 170. Go to Harvard, Yale, or Stanford. Profit.

Re: Law schools in Florida
Agree with above just keep that uGPA up if you really want it. Go to T14 or if you're staying in state UF/FSU (both of those will open way more doors in FL then the others). You have so much time though I'd just keep focused on keeping that GPA high. Take a bullshit major if youre sureNorth wrote:If serious:
