How to become a laywer

Here are the steps you would need to take to become a lawyer!

Step #1– Get a bachelors degree. You need to get a bachelors degree in anything, it doesn’t have to be law but it would be helpful. Sometimes the bachelors degree you get can help you in the area of law you wish to specialize in. For example getting a biology degree might help you if medicine law is what you want to practice.

Step#2– Passing the law school admission test. The LSAT includes a multiple choice section as well as a written section. It is made to test the individual on the most critical skills a lawyer will need down the road including reading comprehension, information management, analysis and critical thinking, reasoning, and argumentation.

Step#3– Start applying to law schools. You need to start applying to law schools accredited by the American Bar Association. When applying you will have to include overall GPA, undergraduate coursework, and LSAT scores. Some things that would boost your application would be community service, organizational affiliations, and recommendation letters from educators, alumni or legal professionals.

Step #4– Earning a Juris Doctor Degree. Students must earn this from one of 200 schools in the US. They can choose to concentrate in areas of real estate, property, criminal, environmental, tax, or family law. Typically students can complete their Juris Doctor in three years of full-time study.

Step #5– Passing the bar exam.

The Bar Exam is an examination administered in each state to assess whether or not a candidate is competent to practice law in that jurisdiction. The format for each state’s bar exam is different, but usually is broken into two parts that are taken on two separate days. In this two-part format, the first part is the Multistate Bar Examination, or the MBE. The MBE is written by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and is static throughout each jurisdiction. Every jurisdiction except Louisiana incorporates the MBE in its bar exam. The MBE is administered twice annually- once on the last Wednesday in February and again on the last Wednesday in July.

The second portion of the Bar Exam is usually “state specific,” where each state tests candidates on unique aspects of its laws. The state specific portion of the bar examination is usually administered in essay format.

The third portion of the Bar Exam is the Multistate Performance Test, or the MPT. The MPT is designed to test the examinee’s ability to use fundamental lawyering skills in a realistic situation. The MPT evaluates the ability to complete a task that a beginning lawyer should be able to accomplish. Applicants should contact the bar admissions agency in their jurisdiction to determine whether the MPT is administered as part of the jurisdiction’s bar examination. Not every jurisdiction requires the MPT.

Why bail bonds is an important business!

The bail bonds business has been around for the longest time and people who have used it understand its importance/necessity. If you have never used or needed to use it, however, you might not understand how beneficial it actually is to society. You never really know when you or a loved one will need to use a bail bonds service.

 

Here are a couple points on why it is a needed business:

  • When you are put in jail there is this concept of being innocent until you are proven guilty, and in the time before your court date you either spend it in an uninviting jail cell, or you have the option to be bailed out by a bail bondsman and spend the remaining time awaiting your court date in the comfort of your own home.
  • Bail for the pettiest and smallest crimes can sometime exceed $20,000. Some people have $20,000 to randomly drop on a loved one to get them out of jail, however MOST people do not just have that kind of money lying around to spend. So as bail bondsman we offer to bail out your loved one for 10% of the price. So 2,000 is a lot more reasonable than paying 20,000 just to see your loved one.
  • Lastly being in jail wastes so much time, think about it– you can possibly be sitting in a cell waiting for a month JUST to go to your court date. This causes missed work, school plays, dental appointments, special events etc. Being in jail for a crime just isn’t optimal if you haven’t been proven guilty, so we believe as bail bondsman that you have the right to wait out your court date in your house.

 

At the end of the day a crime is a crime, but bail bondsman make the transition period from crime to court a lot easier.

How to become a police officer

First and foremost lets go through the bottom line basic requirements you need to meet before even considering applying to the academy. 

  • You need to be at least 18 years old, which makes sense because who wants anyone under 18 wielding a deadly firearm
  • You need to be a US citizen either by birth or naturalized
  • You must have a form of lower education such as a high school diploma or a GED
  • A valid drivers license is an obvious requirement because you have to be able to drive
  • Your record must be clean of ANY felony convictions as well as any misdemeanor convictions that can impact your reliability when using a firearm

Things to spruce up your resume/application:

  • Be physically fit, now when I say physically fit I don’t mean bone thin, I mean well built. By being well built you show that you are able to commit to something other than the police academy. Treat it as evidence that you can actually do something long term. When you are applying to become a police officer you are basically saying, I can stick with this program for the next 2 years, and they want to know that you can.
  • Have a higher education, bachelors, masters or Ph.D. Again having these degrees shows commitment but it also might help you and give you an advantage with different aspects of the job. For example having a law degree might help you with the plethora of written examinations you will need to pass.
  • Practice and know what you are getting into BEFORE getting into it– what I mean is be prepared. Don’t assume that you know what will be going on from TV shows, do research and go in there ready to rise above the rest.

 

All in all becoming a police officer is one of the most noble things you can do, just don’t underestimate the rigor.

FAQ: What happens if I bail someone out and they get deported?

What exactly happens when our loved ones get deported and they are out on a bond?

When you bail someone out, you are liable for them to go to court until the case is done. If that person is not a U.S citizen there is a possibility that he or she might get deported, every case is completely different.  However, the indemnitor (person responsible for the the bail) still holds all responsibility to pay for the debt.

If you have any more questions regarding a bail we can help.
