Sorry, been on vacation and away from a computer!!

You cannot attend law school right out of USNA. So, if you want to go directly after undergraduate study, go elsewhere. However, before you do that, consider two things.

First, there are opportunities to go to law school while in the USN (not sure about USMC). It is a complex process w/o guarantees (of being accepted), but it can be done. PM me for details. Or, you can do your five+ years and go to law school on your own, which I did.

Second, there are many reasons that you are MUCH better off doing something productive for a few years after receiving your B.A. or B.S. and before attending law school. Trust me on this. It helps with getting into law school, it tends to make you happier in law school, it helps you get a job after law school, and it tends to make you happier as an attorney. If those aren't reasons enough . . .
