I am a 16 year old British girl wanting to study Law in America- how?

I’m currently studying Law at AS level (and I know that’s not a vital qualification), and after completing my A levels I wanted to move over to America to study Law and become a solicitor or barrister. I know English law is very different to American law, and I just wondered whether you could give me some pointers on how to go about doing this.

Although one studies law as an undergraduate in the UK, in the US, it’s done as a graduate student. In the US, to enter law school, one must already have a bachelor’s degree.

As an undergraduate in the UK, you can study law and obtain your Bachelor of Laws degree. No such degree exists in the States. Instead, after obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in another subject, you’d go on for a JD – three years of study post-graduate.

So you are certainly welcome to come to the US to study law, but you’d only be able to do that AFTER you complete your bachelor’s degree. You are also welcome to come to the US to do your bachelor’s degree, but it would be in a subject other than law (it could be in history, or French, or engineering, or what have you.) If you did your undergraduate degree in the US, you’d want to find a university that offered something called “Pre-Law”. This isn’t a course of study (what we call a “major”), but it’s an advising program that helps ensure you are prepared for law school applications once you do get your bachelors.

Many UK students actually end up studying law in the UK, and then coming to the US for an LLM. That’s an advanced degree for people who are already lawyers. I’ll give a link, below.

Your best option may be to stay in the UK and do your undergraduate degree in law, preferably in a university that does a good job teaching international law. Then come to the US for your LLM.

I’ve given a link (the first one) to an article that explains what a JD is in the US, and how it compares to the legal education and qualifications you’d receive in the UK.

Get more practical experience in England and the rest of the Isles. Then after two or three years, put in for a school visa to study in America. Learn the basics here, then decide. If everything works to your best advantage, put in to study International Law. The pay is better, the hours longer, the gratification greater. Hope whatever you decide you make a good thing of it in the future.

When you go to college over there…try to get into one that has an exchange program….that would allow you to come over here to study law.

i would say that you should get in touch with your high school administrators and ask them or look it up on line and search around for scholarships.
