"You've been watching television again and the movies, and you've seen what appears to be a great lifestyle for lawyers, and you've decided you want to become a lawyer. Hello, I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the question: How do I become a lawyer? Well, first of all, this is going to vary from state to state in all 50 states. But generally speaking, you are going to have to complete a college education, a four years at an accredited institution, and then you are going to have to make a satisfactory score on the law school admission test. And then upon being admitted to law school, you are going to have to attend three years and graduate with a law degree, after which you're still not yet a licensed attorney. You have to take a state bar examination, and this state bar examination will qualify you to become an attorney. Once you satisfactorily complete the bar examination and you satisfactorily complete the background checked on you, you can then be sworn in in the state in which you have completed these requirements. I'm Robert Todd, and thank you for watching."
