What do you want to be when you grow up? I have been asked this question so many times. Well, my answer to that question, now that I’ve actually thought about it, is a lawyer. I picked a lawyer specifically because I do want a career in law, not so much as a judge, senator, a representative, a detective, a police officer, or a F.B.I. agent; I simply want a law career. I looked into good law schools in the US and I picked Harvard, UCLA, and Indiana University. I also looked at the steps to become a lawyer in Indiana specifically. I have always been interested in a education from Indiana University, but I could never figure out what I wanted to do. Now that I know what I want to do I can finally think how a lawyer relates to my personality. …show more content…

The greatest legal document ever to be written is the United States Constitution. The constitution is ultimately a series of power compromises and is the foundation of common law. Merriam-Webster defines common law as " the area of law that has to do with the subject matter and with the interpretation and construction of constitutions or that deals with the nature and organization of government" (Constitutional Law). Cases involving constitutional law are heard by the United States Supreme Court where judgment is based on the U.S. Constitution. Of the various different articles seated in the constitution, three of them describe a system of checks and balances dividing the national government into three branches. This is also called separation of powers (Beatty, Samuelson, Bredeson 57).
When we were little, we thought the word “Career” was not a big deal, but as a senior in high school, the word has become our reality as we start to finish our last semester. The question we’ve been asked all these years is, what do you want to be when you grow up? But our answer is simple: we don’t want to grow up. As an innocent kid it seemed like the time would never come, but it has. It’s time to get serious and really ponder this question.
The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land in the United States of America. The Texas Constitution establishes the structure and purpose of the Texas government. Constitution can also be defined as a body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is acknowledged in being governed. Each of these constitutions can be related in many ways as wells as being able do differentiate the two. Coming with strengths and weaknesses each plays a role and ultimately can coexist and learn from each other. These documents are critically important and share common goals that differentiate slightly. By breaking down the internal process of each of these constitutions the end goal is
The Constitution is responsible for establishing and distinguishing the powers of the presidency, Congress, and the court system. It says that each state must acknowledge the laws of other states and that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The Constitution is made of seven articles and twenty-seven amendments
According to Sergio Fabbrini, "`Constitutionalism' means a set of procedures and principles used, in a given society and at a given historical period, to define the nature of the supreme law of the land (which constitution?), to promote the strategy of limitation of public powers (for which polity?) and to select the authors of the constitutional plan (which constitution making process?) (Pennock & Chapman 1979)." The following pages will examine this concept in the light of both American and European constitutionalism, by explaining the US constitution making process, giving examples, and comparing and contrasting between America and Europe.
When people are younger everyone always ask what do you want to be when you are older? Of course when it is children everyone is filled with wonder about their answer whether it’s a model, astronaut, race car driver, etc. Now that I’m older it’s expected for me to know exactly what to do with my life and how to do it. I realized very soon that I sometimes can be an indecisive person when it comes to life-long decisions. This being a huge decision in one’s life you could only imagine how many times I’ve changed my idea on what to go to school for. Although, changing my mind become a norm, I eventually decided a degree in business/marketing is the right path for me. What are my career and educational goals, what will my job would be like, and
I would like to explain why I took the LSAT three times. To explain my low LSAT scores, I would first have to explain why and how I was diagnosed with a learning disability at Florida State University. In 2001, my academic advisor advised and referred to Florida State’s Adult and Learning Evaluation Center, because I was failing most of the college level mathematic courses. I completed a psycho-education evaluation and assessment test and was diagnosed with a learning disability that contributed from academic problems, associated with college level mathematics. After my assessment, I received extended test time and alternative testing accommodation for all my mathematic courses. Because I did not have the proper the resources available to me, all my college level mathematics “F” grades on my transcripts were removed and replaced with “WDs”. After receiving test accommodations at FSU, my mathematics grades improved significantly and I over came my learning disability block with the help of Florida State’s resource center.
What do you want to be when you grow up? This question has been asked by every person I know and love. When you were younger you probably wanted to be a fairy princess or a G.I Joe but me I wanted to be a doctor. For a five year old you might think that is a little out of balance but for me it was my exaltation.
I do agree with the quiz results. I plan on continuing my education and going to law school to become a criminal defense attorney. My older brother is an oil and gas attorney, my younger sister is a will and trusts attorney and my husband is a criminal defense attorney. I can’t be left out. I originally wanted to be on the criminal investigation end of law enforcement because I have an eye for detail and love solving cases. My major took a complete turn from Child and Family Development to
Constitutional, Case and Statutory law all contribute different things to the United States legal system. Constitutional law deals with the fundamental principles by which the government exercises its authority (Constitutional law). Constitutional law was ratified when the country was created. Constitutional law grants the government the power to tax and spend to keep the welfare of the population. Some parts of constitutional law restricts what other parts of the government can do like prohibiting the arrest of a citizen without sufficient cause to. Constitutional laws are the right to speedy trials and bear arms. All of these laws come from the constitution. Constitutional law also deals with the federal relationship between the three branches
I want to be a nurse, specifically a nurse practitioner. I have always been fascinated with the medical field and see a bright future in it for me. I have the opportunity of meeting new people every day with a variety of personalities. There is always something new to discover in this field. A nurse practitioner's job is to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. They also prescribe medicine and run physical exams. I am highly interested in pursuing the career of a nurse practitioner because the healthcare field is always in need for medical professionals, it pays well, and I am helping people at the same time.
First off, I want to graduate from college and do it well. I want to be able to do things on the weekends and not worry about having to make things up or anything like that. I am hoping for a scholarship in football, in my opinion that would be a great start for me in college. Then after college maybe pursue that as a career. If that doesn't work out for me then I want to look into athletic training or physical therapy. If those things don't interest me or I don't get into it I am then looking into law. That will take much more time and patience, but it's gonna be the rest of my life.
What will I do for the rest of my life? Every person asks this question at some stage of their life, usually during their later teenage years. As a high school junior, I am now asking myself this question. After considerable thought, I have devised a tentative plan for my future. I realize that some of these plans and goals may change over time, but with a plan, the first steps of the journey can begin. To prepare me for the journey, I have taken very challenging high school curriculum, such as Honors and Advanced Placement courses. These classes will not only assist in my admission to college, but have also helped me to develop strong study skills and time management.
Nonetheless, any law school will be more interested in applicants who rank in the top percentile of their class and present an outstanding grade-point average. Another major aspect considered by law school applicants is their score on the Law School Aptitude Test -- "a half-day standardized test designed to measure the ability to understand and reason with a variety of verbal and quantitative materials" (Neubauer, 125).... ... middle of paper ... ...
I want to become a lawyer because I’ve always been interested in the occupation and I want to help people. To be more specific I want to be a prosecutor. I used to watch shows such as Criminal Minds and Law and Order and I also watched the news. While watching the news, I began to think that not all criminals are getting caught, and they are starting to do more and more things to damage the world. I can’t stand thinking that people are doing horrible things and thinking its okay. I want to be able to put those people in prison where they belong.
