Thankyou for the detailed information. I personally feel that the studies that are required to become a lawyer are nothing as compared to the real life experience that one goes through when one actually becomes the lawyer.

If you want to become a lawyer, the first thing you need to do is to get into as good a college as you can. Try getting into one that has a very good liberal arts program, where your curriculum will be rich and varied an then you can become a Providence Car Accident Lawyer.

Lawyers as a profession is often one of the most difficult professions to enter due to the high competition and time required obtaining degrees. But you have provided great info for the law aspirants. I think maintaining a high GPA a minimum 3.0 GPA will be added advantage for the admission.

Can a citizen of another country attend law school in the US and then sit for the bar exam as well?

Or must you be a US citizen to do both?

Hey non-US citizen can become a lawyer in the US but here she must pass the bar exam and must have lawful residency in the state with the bar exam was passed--Often usually you must go to law school as well. A few states will let you take the bar exam even without law school.
