I want to be a prosecutor but I must go to law school, but before entering law school, I must

obtain an undergraduate degree. Law school applicants must obtain four-year degrees from
accredited colleges or universities. The applicant must also take the Law School Admissions
Test, LSAT. The applicants GPA and LSAT score will play a huge role in me getting accepted
in certain schools. A first-year law student must take certain required classes. These classes
include real property, legal research and writing, contracts, civil procedure, criminal law and
tort law. During the second year of law school, I can choose my own courses, but I will still
have a few more required courses to complete. These courses include constitutional law,
professional responsibility and a professional skills course. If I have my heart set on
becoming a prosecutor I should start building a resume geared toward criminal prosecution
as soon as I can. I can accomplish that by choosing electives such as criminal procedure,
evidence, trial advocacy and a criminal prosecution clinic, if offered. I should also attempt to
do an internship or externship at a local prosecutors office. Before I can become a
prosecutor, I must obtain a Juris Doctor degree. I accomplish this by earning the number of
credit hours required by her law school and maintaining a passing GPA. I must also pass the
Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam to prove my knowledge of legal ethics. I must
also pass the bar exam in the state where I wants to serve as a prosecutor. The bar exam
may consist of the Multistate Bar Examination, the Multistate Essay Examination, the
Multistate Performance Test and other state-specific exams. The requirement to enter in
