School help please!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question

what subjects do i need in secondary school to become a prosecuter

Answer 1

My daughter wants to study law when she goes to university, but she is home educated so we can tailor her curriculum to suit her.  Generally in schools,  you will have to learn what you are told for years 7-9 (ie ages 11-13 or 14).  For the following two years you have some, albeit limited choice, leading you to GCSE or equivalent,  It is only in years 12 and 13 that you can learn what you like, leading to A' levels.  BTW studying law at school is of no use and is certainly not necessary, according to the Law Society.

For GCSE it is a good idea to get a broad mix of subjects.  It is not essential that you do so, but it will give you something to fall back on should you change your mind about your career choice.  Certainly at school you will have to do English, Maths and a Science, plus others you can choose from.

Just for info, my daughter will be doing GCSE or IGCSE in English*, Maths*, Astronomy, Latin*, Spanish, History*, Geography, Classical Civilisation*, ICT, English Lit and one other language,  The asterisked ones would be the most helpful as they teach you the rhetorical, analytical and logical skills necessary to enter the legal profession.  Modern languages are also useful and you can now do a four-year Law degree which includes a year in a country which speaks your

chosen language.

Good luck!

Answer 2

maybe... Law!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

"Secondary" as in high school? If so, your options are still pretty open as a wide range of subjects can increase your general knowledge base, making you a far more potent adversary in court than one who has a limited education.  

I would definitely recommend joining your school's debate team and taking courses that emphasize reading, writing, and research. Psychology and sociology classes can also be helpful to someone who plans a career in law.

Many colleges offer courses of study such as pre-law, pre-med, etc. that are geared for those students who plan to pursue a professional degree. These "pre" majors consist of courses that are specifically selected to enhance and hone the skills that you will find helpful to you in graduate school (law school in your case).

Successful attorneys have also majored in a number of different fields: English, psychology, sociology, business, environmental sciences, you name it, depending on his or her specific area of interest and planned legal expertise. Someone interested in becoming a prosecutor might greatly benefit from becoming a criminal justice major, while someone who wishes to become a tax lawyer might benefit from a business degree.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I would say that usuful GCSE would be RS, law and history i suppose bussiness studies might also suit. British schools dont have debate teams. But being a member of the school council/ eco society might be usuful.
