You generally will need a college bachelor's degree (4 years) before law school. Law school is normally three years.

You beat me to it -

Please post your site about Judge Joe Brown. I do not believe this is true. In fact, I'm positive it's not.

Also - you know that's a TV program, right? He's a Judge on TV. Not saying he isn't an Attorney but he is no longer a sitting Judge.

Yeah - I wasn't able to find his arrest either. And he is no longer a judge (as of 2001) so if his arrest is in the last 9 years...

But this all reminds me of an episode of friends where Phoebe's brother says "I hope she grows up to be smart so she can be a doctor... or real estate agent"

Hello again, c:

Those guys, of course, are right...

Sooooo, if you want to be a lawyer, your FIRST case is going to be in front of the Bar arguing that you DO possess the integrity to be an attorney, your misdemeanor notwithstanding...

If you don't think you can WIN that case, then you should consider cheffing...

I know he says he got in trouble as a teen
But even so it is a long shot to base your hopes on what someone else got lucky on.

I KNOW there are tons of Joe Browns, Oprahs, Montels, Ellens and more out there that will never have much more than a minimum paying job.

Isn't that the other TV Judge, Judge Mathis?

And concerning Everett - as I understand Everett has something like a 98% placement record. What they DON'T say is that there is no guarantee that that placement will be in the area of study. If you end up at McDonald's, you are part of the 98%.

But, Nohelp - you ARE a big help. You do great research, cut to the heart of the chase. You should be working in the legal profession.

Yeah it might have been Matthis.

And yep schools guarantee placement and then do not follow through. I went to Everest
And then when I went for placement help because the ads in the paper for legal assists.
Had changed from entry level to 4 months experience. All they did was look on Monster.com and tell me to go apply at the McDonalds in my area.
I had already given up on Monster.com and I don't need a McDonalds job no matter how deseparate I may be.

That is what I heard did not say it was true lol. But I don't know I will come up with something everyone changes but yeah I know what you mean guess I will just go the other way

charmed44875 · Aug 11, 2009, 04:07 PM

Oh no for real. You mean I am paying $20000 and might not even get a job in what I am going to school for. Crap guess I should just go to a real college next semester that way I know I will get what I want. I did not know that. Thanks so much for letting me know this. I won't be wasting anymore money on them. Once this is up I am going to go find another school prob OSU around here or something .
