I recently had my call to the bar and finally achieved one of my dreams, to become a lawyer. My main motivation was watching Bobby Donell strut around in ‘the practice’ and the prestige and respect I felt was attached to lawyers of all stripes. I also enjoyed challenging myself to prove I could accomplish this dream. Now, I simply hope that practicing law can give me fincancial stability while working on interesting subject matter. There are better and easier ways to make money. The law however is inherently interesting, especially criminal law, which is something that most professions can’t claim. Anyways, Justice is an elevated concept and ideal in our society, and being associated with the practice of justice is a privlege.

So you wanna be a lawyer because you played Phoenix Wright on your Nintendo DS so many times?

Don’t.

I’m glad to know that there are still a few people today who are determined and would not let other people’s fears derail their motivation for their lives. As a kid, I thought playing lawyer was a fun game. I also enjoyed literary debates in high school. But my mother thought that it wasn’t right for a woman to become a lawyer. One of her reasons was that some men would be intimidated by the woman’s intelligence. She suggested Medicine as an alternative. I thought she was right, but i found Physics to be very boring (I’m sure there so many people would disagree with me on that point). However, I soon realised that I was on the wrong track and switching to preparing to become a lawyer was a difficult task. So, I would suggest that anyone who has the flare for defending the truth( whatever you believe that to be) should do so irrespective of other people’s opinions. I think I could have made a very good lawyer; and who says I can’t?

The first profession I said I wanted to become was al lawyer. So much that in my adolescent years I would be the advocator for my friends, so much that I would get a whooping for defending my friends in a disrespectful manner. Also fight for my friends. My juvenile years get arrested for advocating for myself & or friends. I wanton my life for a dozen years. Most of my family is in the medical profession. Being arrested for drugs disqualified me from working in drugs. I took a liking to psychology-sociology but when my professor stated that certain shrinks administer scripts, but I wouldn’t be able to be.

I got a hold of my life and Almighty God rekindled my passion for wanting to be an officer of the law. I have never been the school type. I’m focused, my higher education marks are idyllic. Honestly I remember watching Judge Mathis, saying I was a thug I’ve been arrested, but I cleaned my life up, and now I’m a judge. I honestly feel if he could do it, I can do it. If I devote the same amount of energy that I gave to being a deviant, I will be an immaculate lawyer. I also know about the Criminal In-Justice System.

For the comment above mine Latavaie you could do the same. Some one with that much motivation to prove every one wrong could be a great lawyer.

For the others you should be honored to be an officer of the courts. You can change society, by changing the laws. I guess you must like where society is going. “If your not part of the solution your part of the problem”

I can’t wait to become a Lawyer. If that is what my Lord Jesus Christ wants for me that is what I need.

Seth – you’re killing me! navel gazing! LOL. what kind of law do you practice? I still have plenty of time to decide which direction I want to go cause I’m 34 and working on my bachelor’s degree. I have about 2 years then I have to be ready. I want to help less fortunate with legal assistance, but I want to make a good living too. Better than I ever dreamed and make my family proud.

Malika and Anna – whatever you do don’t let others determine your destiny and change your dreams. I’m an adult now and my dream of becoming a lawyer was crushed by my oldest sister who hates to read, hated school, and had no interest in college. I’m different! I’m not her and I let the one thing someone said prolong the process. I know I still want to be a lawyer and I will be. I may keep that to myself because people are judgemental. Don’t let go of your dream no matter!

Anna: If you have the math and science ability, go for medical doctor. It’s a harder transition right out of med school, but ten years down the line, your quality of life is appreciably better.

I have recently started to think about becoming a lawyer.

I have spent a lot of my working life doing jobs that I just found my way into, and have really followed the path that was thrown down infront of me. I have never found a career, though and something I can really “get my teeth into” – that is something intellectually challenging.

I love problem solving – it is a natural thing for me. Throughout life I have always found that I am motivated to stand up for what I believe is right. And hold people to account where necessary.

Does that make me lawyer material? I don’t know. Anyone out there got any suggestions of where to go from here?

Question: How much arguing does being a lawyer actually involve? I’d imagine it’s a lot of drudge work too.

One night at the dinner table we were talking about what we want to be when we grow up and what we should be when we grow up. When it was my turn i let it out.” I want to be a pilot.” i said. then they let it out.” Lizi, you should be an attorney” they said. ” all you do is argue until you win and never stop talking. that is when i got into it. i went to many different websites to find out about it more. i know everything now and my parents have it all planned out. we are moving in two years to do a plan for a good scholarship to collage so i can go to law school. i am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after all this hard work trying to find out about being an attorney, i know i will be one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
