"You have been studying various vocations and you've seen a movie or you've seen several television shows, where attorneys are practicing law and enjoying the good life and seemingly making lots and lots of money and you want to know what it's going to take to become an attorney. Hello, I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the question, "What are the qualifications to become and attorney?" Well generally speaking, you must complete high school and you must attend and graduate from an accredited university or college of four years. It doesn't matter what you study but you must graduate from that university or college. Generally, you're going to have to make good grades because you're going to want to get accepted into a law school and to get accepted into a law school, you're going to have to have satisfactory grades from the four year college and you're going to have to have a satisfactory score on what is called the LSAT or Law School Admission Test. Then when you attend law school, you must graduate after three years and then after graduating law school, you must pass the bar examination that is administered in your state. You also must pass a very rigid and extensive background check. And once you've passed that and passed the bar exam, you're qualified to be an attorney in that state. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for watching."
