Humanities Courses :
- history ( european history, us history, etc, etc )
- law
- english courses ( be it literature, ap, honors, etc )
- forensic science would be a bonus
- math ( just because i don’t think you can do anything with out it )

It really doesn’t matter. Take the courses you need to get into college – English, history, math, science, and a language. You need a 4-year college degree to apply to law school; they won’t ask or care what you took in high school.

Question by Katerinka: High school law firm/office internship?
I’m a sophomore in high school and it’d be awesome if some could tell me how I could go about getting an internship at a law firm/office in the local area. Should I write a letter to the different places? E-mail? Call? I’m really now sure how to go about doing this. Also, what type of things would I be doing? Would I learn lots of things? Any advice would be fantastic. Thanks!

Answer by sitcpsitcb
As a high schooler you will not be able to do anything but the most very basic work in a law office. If you’re under 18 my guess is you would not even be able to deal with filing or basic secretarial work due to confidentiality concerns – 18 is the minimum age for volunteering at every single legal organization I know of. Most law offices do not even accept college students as interns; those positions are usually reserved for law students.
My recommendation would be to wait until you’re in college to look for a legal internship where you’ll have at least some basic college-level research and writing skills that could be beneficial to a law firm. Spend your summers at a job where you can actually earn some money. If you want to call around to a few firms to see if they accept high school students you could give that a try, but until you know that it’s a possibility don’t waste your time with cover letters, etc. I would start with the law offices of people you know – friends or family members who are attorneys may be willing to give you a chance.

Question by Holographer: What do you think of a 27-year-old lawyer dating a girl who is 18 and about to graduate from high school?
Is that sketchy, or does the fact that she is a legal adult make it all okay? The lawyer is 27 and still looks pretty young, except that he drives a nice car, often wears a suit, and owns a house with a pool and hot tub.

Answer by John
I’m also a freshman and I have wondered about this career for myself. From my own research, here’s a number of things you should know (BTW I’m Canadian, but our countries are comparable).
Firstly, DO NOT attend community college. That is suicide. You don’t necessarily need to attend an ivy league institution. At the very least, you should attend a public state university.
Secondly, you need very good grades. I would advice you to shoot for atleast an 80% in everything. In addition, get involved in various extracurricular activities (volunteering, yearbook, sports etc).
As far as courses go, you should take atleast one senior science, math, language, english, social, language, and one other approved grade 12 course (first of all, find out which law school you want to attend and look at the requirements to gain admission. Most law schools require a year or two of understudy before you can enroll in the law program).
If you want to become a judge and run for public office, I would strongly sugget to you to obtain a LLM after you get your juris doctor.
And one last thing. If at all possible, take latin. Latin looks tremendously good on the university resume. Not only is it helpful to know what all the legal phrases mean prior to enrollment, but simply learning the language helps you learn in any academic discipline.
Good luck!

Question by Ellie: What is life like as a high technology patent lawyer?
I know it is recommended that you have an engineering degree for undergrad. My friend is a software engineering major and was wondering if as a patent lawyer you have to spend a lot of time in front of a computer. He would prefer to not be in front of a screen all day and was hoping patent law would be a way out of it while still keeping his engineering degree. Does a patent lawyer spend most of his time with clients or computers? What is a “typical” day like? Thanks everyone!
Best answer:
Answer by Robert Z
It depends of course. There also is no typical day.
Are you doing litigation, filing and prosecuting patents, or licensing etc.?
Either way, when you start out, client contact may be minimal. At a Big Law Firm, new associates do a lot of grunt work. In litigation (patent litigation) this is endless document review in front of a computer. For patent litigation, you are unlikely to see a courtroom until at least year 4 at Big Law. For litigation you are unlikely to have much client contact until the same time period.
In filing and prosecuting patents, the same holds true, however, you may get more inventor interaction eariler. The problem is when you say High Technology in a lot of cases, that means a lot of money is at stake, so you will have to progress signifigantly in your career to get client contact.
As an attorney, you are giving legal advice or legal services. If you simply give advice during an interaction, the complexity of the advice is somewhat limited (how much can you prepare or convey during a conversation?). The majority of the advice/service given is detail oriented or involves the preperation of complex documents for use in and out of court or in front of the PTO. Therefore, until you are a big time partner and oversee associates and manage clients, you are unlikely to escape the computer.
It is probably similar with computer engineering. You start out programing. Then writing specs. Then managing those who write specs. Then Managing a programing project.

Question by jerierisister: Looking for a [high back office] chair with the ability to adjust the height while sitting on it?
My mother-in-law needs a chair that has wheels so she can move it with greater ease, but also, due to her difficulty getting up and down off of a chair needs one that can adjust the height while she is still sitting in it. That way she can lower it while at the table, and raise it to get out of it when she is done. Most office chairs can be adjusted, but you can not be sitting in them while raising it. Does anyone know of a chair that may fit the bill for my mother-in-law?
Best answer:
Answer by itsmybusiness
Keilhauer chairs are the absolute best. Very comfortable and can be adjusted any which way. They are made in Toronto. I highly recommend them and think they would probably work to change heights while still sitting as they have a series of levers for this purpose.
