Hey McGirth, thanks a lot for the help you have given me.

It seems the ways into law vary from country to country so let me try and clear up a little confusion. In England for example, you cannot do law school straight out of highschool. Anybody who wants to start an undergraduate degree in anything needs A-levels which are usually over 2 years and fall between highschool and College. I managed to do it in a year but it was hectic. After this you can either do a three year law degree (some are 4), and then start your training to be either a barrister or solicitor in your chosen area. Because I will have a degree in the social sciences and humanities I can do what they call a (GDL) a graduate diploma in law, which is one year followed by 2 years training. Because you need a BA to start the graduate diploma there wont be anyone there straight out of highschool.

Political science is interesting, infact i'm doing a course called political ideologies this year which covers a whole range of thinkers and theory, and i'm really enjoying it.

I most definatley would prefer a theoretical law school. I feel it is important to learn the history and evolution of the law and be able to think about where it is going in the future. I like you, do not like to be spoon fed, and trying to learn the reality or truth to it seems like the most valubale mindset to tackle law school with.

I will definately do more research into this, and will consider perhaps studying in the states, but I think it would hurt me greatly financially to do so. (its expensive here as it is.)

But thanks for your help, and I'm sure you will be succesfull at law school if you keep the same attitude to learning that you have had up to now. And remember, nothing is forever, you dont have to think that you have to make a decision on the whole of your future right now, try it, see what you think of it, reach your own conclusions then see where you want to be.

all the best
