Legal Education

Once upon a time, to become a lawyer, a young man - not a young woman - found a lawyer, a mentor, with whom he could "read law." After a period of time, in essance an internship, he became a lawyer.

 

Legal education has changed a lot in just the last few years. If you wanted to become a lawyer now, what would you have to do?
