Don't do it. If you are intrigued, take a paralegal course and get a job doing that for awhile. It'll give you an idea of the world you may be entering. No one likes law school.

My sister actually got her paralegal degree while studying for the LSATS and applying to law school. She's going to University of Baltimore right now for law and LOVING it. its an up and coming school, and seems to have a very SMCM small college type of vibe. (at least two SMCMers are there right now)

She also loved doing the paralegal stuff, so it could give you an idea of what it entails.

Yeah, that's where I was thinking of going actually, mom knows a few people (older people at that) who went there for their law degree

Take it from a person in grad school....its painful while you are in a higher ed program but it's worth it when its over. If you love what you are studying than you can make it through all the hard stuff and come out with the ability to do something you love afterward. I agree with everyone else, if you are just intrigued, I'd start small and see if its something you'd really like and then go for school.

Good luck! :-)

That you are asking about it means you are really not into it. And as such, it would probably be a bad idea for you to pursue it. Sure, you could get through everything and become and actual lawyer, but I doubt you would be happy.
