Law school is a second step.
Together, the two should complement each other and inspire continued study and reflection, even in the midst of the most vigorous career. The fully developed lawyer knows much more than the law. The right time to begin law school is when you know that you are intellectually, socially and emotionally ready. The three years that you attend law school will be among the most challenging, stressful and exhilarating times of your life. While there are no course pre-requisites or types of formal training required for admission to law school, there are other, unspoken factors that can make the difference in succeeding as a law student.
