Whether you're interested in becoming a lawyer, a judge, or a politician, getting from high school to law school can seem like a daunting journey. This week on Home School Heartbeat, Michael Farris and his guests talk about steps to take along the way.

America needs lawyers and judges who understand the law and know how to apply it wisely. If you or someone you know shares that dream, remember that with a little hard work and determination, you can pursue it.
