Where do you want to go to law school? What area(s) of law interest you the most? Why do you think you want to practice law? Are you majoring in Political Science or something unrelated to law?

I'm a Spanish/Applied Linguistics major and I'm planning on attending law school starting in the fall of 2008. I'd *really* like to go somewhere in New York City or Boston, since that's where I'm originally from and there seem to be a lot of great opportunities. I'd like to practice disability/mental health law with an emphasis on education and children (especially teenagers). Who knows, though, I might find out that I love real estate law or something.

Hi Caity!

I have a BA in Criminal Justice. I've never really contemplated law school, but have thrown around the idea of getting my Masters. I'm completely on the fence about it though, so the idea of putting out the time/energy/money right now just doesn't appeal to me. I think the emphasis you're thinking of could be very rewarding. Good luck!

I did really well in both my business law and museum law classes (#1 in my class)... I've been thinking once I get my Art History Degree I may go to Stetson Law for a law degree. I've always liked law but just didn't think I had it in me. After the classes I took I think I would do pretty good. I've been getting more confident the last few years - so maybe the going before the judge thing wouldn't be so bad.

I just graduated from law school, so I still remember some of the application process and stuff. I was an Econ and International Affairs major in college.

One thing that struck me, and in hindsight I wish that I would have considered, is the location of where I would want to eventually practice law. I decided to go to the best law school I got into rather than the law school closest to where I'd practice. In the end, it all worked out OK, but it sure would have been a whole lot easier if I had gone to the lesser regional school than the better out-of-state school. There are just more opportunities for internships, networking, etc. which goes far after graduation.

I got my BA in English, and then went to law school. I started at Quinnipiac in CT, and then my husband and I decided to move to New Orleans and I transferred to Loyola. I'm really glad I got the degree. I enjoyed most of law school, especially doing the criminal defense clinic. But with my Louisiana degree, I am having a hard time learning Mass. law. I have a feeling I will be taking the bar twice.

I used to want to be a public defender, but now that my husband is sick, I'm looking at a job in publishing where I can make more money.

I like criminal defense and Media/Internet law.
