The world of law is not entirely like Legally Blonde would have you believe. It isn’t as glamorous as one would hope. But, if you are determined and willing to work hard, there is no reason you cannot be a successful lawyer.
Once you have completed at least seven years of law training at an accredited university you will be ready to tackle the world of law.
You will find that you need to embark on an internship to gain the relevant skills that are needed to become an amazing lawyer. In terms of professional development, you can learn a lot from others.
You need to make sure that you are determined and working hard.

There is a wide range of things that you can do. If you want to feel that you are helping others, you can specialise within the world of family law.
You can work within the political area and help those in disadvantaged countries. You can be a trailblazer and become a women’s rights activist, using your law knowledge.
