Before making a move, I suggest you read this blog post:

[Why You Should NOT Go To Law School](Page Not Found)

I know the title sounds rude, but the blogger does make some excellent points about the WRONG reasons to go to Law school. Do a rundown and see if any apply to you. Just a warning: there are some swear words.

If you, after reading that post, still want to be a lawyer, kudos. I learned how to become a lawyer after watching Legally Blonde. The process is as follows:
Pick a major you like and get a perfect 4.0 GPA
Study hard and get a high LSAT score (for Harvard, more than 174),
Get strong recommendations (and get someone famous to write them)
Apply to internships using scented paper
Go to court cases while wearing a colorful suit
Become successful

Err… I’m only a high school senior; I am in no position to offer advice on how to be a lawyer. May I suggest you see career counselor? They actually have intelligence on this subject. I doubt the path to becoming a lawyer is as linear as they show in movies.
