I am not a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. but I can answer your question.

Law school is NOTHING like the LSAT test. Your degree might actually help you if you plan on being a transactional attorney and in some classes such as Contracts, Securities Regulations, Federal Income Tax. Law schools except all majors and I don't think that one prepares one more than the other (except for maybe English b/c you do a lot of writing).

I have seen plenty of women bring their children to class, up to school while they are studying, etc. My law school offers a part-time section to those individuals that work full-time and/or have families. Most of the people that are in this section are between the ages of 30-55. I don't see how they do it but they do and a lot of them are very successful in their classes and studies. It just takes a lot of juggling but I know that you can do it if this is something that you truly want to pursue. One of my sectionmates has a 8 year old son, went through a divorce, and lost her brother to cancer all in our first year of law school. She is still hanging in there and working in our school's Immigration Clinic (she is one of my inspirations).

About the LSAT, most people take the classes. I didn't (too much money). I studied on my own w/ old LSAT tests and a Kaplan book (that had tests and a CD that I could access from home).
