Targeted Audience: students in grades 7 – 12
Almost one million lawyers work to assure the principle of equal justice under law to the people of the United States. The field has grown swiftly in recent decades, with the number of lawyers up by more than 400% since the 1960s.
Being a lawyer requires a college degree and a degree from a law school. Law school takes three years of full-time study or four- or five-years of part-time study. Then, in almost all states, the graduate must pass a rigorous test, called the bar exam, to get a license to practice law.
