The only suggestion I have would be to determine if you qualify for a court appointed attorney.

Lawyers make their living upon the fees they charge. Unless you have some unique case that would interest the attorney in making a name for himself by representing your case…he/she isn’t going to give you “pro bono” service!

From lawyer: A law degree allows you to choose what field of law you practice after you pass bar exam. You don’t really learn to practice law in law school. You start learning the practical aspects of practicing law as a law clerk during law school, by working at a law firm or by trial and error on your own. There are form books and software that helps lawyers do their job. For law school admission you need a bachelors degree with any major. Average law schools want you to have a B average and a good LSAT score. There are some law schools that have lower admission standards.

Answer by Erik Nostin
There are some lawyers who take on a certain number of pro bono (that is, free) cases every year. They do this for the tax write-off, mostly, but you need to start calling law firms around your area and seeing who might be able to help you. If a lawyer cannot help you, they may at least be able to point you in the right direction.

that’s like asking how much a mechanic makes.

If you have a shop in the back of your home you make much less than my mechanic, who works only on appointment and on cars that cost more than the average home.

Last year my mechanic cleared (NET after taxes) 137,000

Answer by Abigail B
You can’t currently take anything that will actually count towards you law degree, but you can take courses designed to give people your age a taste of law.
Just wait till you hit high school for classes to get hard. And wait till you graduate college to pick your career, or at least until you have had any experience in law. It looks fun until you actually have to do it.
