For the past 2.5 years my grandaughter(2.5yrs old) has been in my care/custody from Thur - Sun. Now, suddenly her mother wants restrict all visitation with me, no overnights. Nothing has happened at my home to promote this action, my son is suddenly agreeing to everyother weekend visits. When my grandaughter needed her shots, I took her, when she got sick and needed her lungs pumped I took, I have had her in preschool, swim lessons, etc. etc. What can I do to protect my visitation rights with my grandaughter, we have a very strong bond and this change will confuse and hurt her.
I don't get along with my family. There is mental abuse, but not physical. I do have a place to stay, and it is a 2 parent responsible and healthy acting family, unlike my own family. My parents would never relinquish control of me. If I leave without permission, and I go live with this other family, a) could this other family be charged legally with a crime for allowing me to stay there without parent permission? b) could I be in legal trouble by staying there? My school grades are exc., but emancipation isn't possible since my parents refuse to allow me to have a job. Please help.

Speak Up! - View Question #458 |
printer friendly version
Question: How long does it take to become a lawyer? Is it fun? Where can I go to school?
Answer: It takes at least seven years after high school graduation to become a lawyer - about four years to get a bachelor's degree and three years for law school. After law school you must pass a test called the 'bar exam' in order to become a lawyer. There is a law school at Arizona State University (in Tempe) and another at the University of Arizona (in Tucson). There are also a lot of law schools in other states. Libraries have lists that rank law schools. No job is 100% fun, but there are fun things about being a lawyer. Many lawyers get to meet new people a lot. Most lawyers work long hours. Most lawyers do not have to do the kind of work that hurts their bodies. The best thing about being a lawyer is helping others.
See the Arizona Bar Association's booklet about careers in law.
Also see LawForKids.org Law Links section for a list of national and international law schools.

I see some post saying they don't know what kind of lawyer to become. Well, I was arrested once because my step daughter said I beat her up. I was completely innocent. I am a software developer. If I was younger, I would go back to school and become a defense attorney because I have learned that not everybody who is arrested is guilty and I would do as my attorney did for me. That is, I would vigorously defend innocent people when they were accussed of something especially when there is no basis or fact related to the crime for which they are accussed.

I am really trying hard in school, to get good grades, and stay on task. I've always wanted to be a lawyer, and I know that I have what it takes to reach my goal. My dream is to go to UCLA Law School. I would be so happy, if it happened, and at the rate I am going at now, hopefully it will come true(:
