Becoming a lawyer is considered to be very hard.

People don’t usually go to law school until after college. You might look for a college that offers “pre-law” preparation.

You should study writing, logic, and philosophy (especially writing) in college before going to law school. Writing is one of the most important skills for lawyers.

You will have to take the LSAT (a national test) to be admitted into a law school. This test includes a lot of logic questions and requires you to understand English very well.

Law schools also look for students that had a very high GPA in college. It doesn’t matter too much what your major is to them (biology, computers, English, or whatever it is). Keeping good grades and taking writing classes is probably the most important preparation.
