I took law last semester and I've never been this interested in a subject before. I don't want to be a lawyer (as of now) but I want to study law. I have my undergraduate figured out or so I think now!

I just wanted to aim the highest I could, you know? I'm currently working very hard for a reach undergraduate program. So I was just inquiring for Yale, I checked their website out and it got me very excited. So I thought, why not make that a goal and work towards it? Even if I fail, I'd probably end up among the stars! (:

Thanks HieronymusBosch for the encouragement! And thanks for being so nice too.

Thanks arghwhy for your insight. Yes, I'm only in grade 11. Yale certainly has a lot to do with prestige but more than that I just wanted a really high goal to work towards! As of now, I really liked law!

Thanks alwaysamom, reality check really helped. I'm a Bangladeshi Canadian. Eventually I want to go back to Bangladesh and work there. A degree from Canada/America/UK would just be as prestigious there. Apparently, I can relate more to Bangladesh's law with an LLB. As of now, I'm certain I want to go work there. But it's not a very stable country which is why I wanted to keep the option of working in Canada open. Currently, thanks to God there is no issue with financial aid.

Your insight has been really helpful! I don't have any lawyers in my family. It's true that I'm only seventeen and was just curious about law school. As of now I'm just wondering that if (big if) I get accepted to a school in the US with say small classes, would the quadruple tuition be worth it in the future?

I know I'm too young to be thinking of grad school, I know my mind might change, I know, I know. I was just wondering about the future and wondering which might be the best possible route.

I thank you all for taking the time to answer my questions! Have a great day! (:

Well, the issue with attending law schools in different countries is fairly obvious - laws are different. Many nations won't recognize foreign law degrees. Something in Canada may not be valid in Bangladesh or America or Britain. As an example, some of Canada's most prestigious law schools aren't recognized in a vast majority of American states (you can only pass the bar/practice law in New York, Mass., California with a York degree etc). This could easily apply to American schools as well.

Perhaps it would be best of you to examine the recognition/accreditation behind various law degrees before pursuing your studies.
