You might wonder what you have to do before getting to law school. There isn't much you can do before law school however there are a few things you can do. In undergrad the major you pick doesn't matter when going to law school. Their are various types of majors that were taken during undergraduate studies. If you do want some type of background or foundation before law school then pursuing a degree in political science, government, pre-law, and criminal justice would prove beneficial. If the college you go to has any type of pre-law organization you should definitely join because it will provide you good information on the whole ordeal of law school and practicing it afterward. Another thing you could is to go intern at a law firm or courthouse to figure out if being a lawyer is what you really want to do. The last thing I have on my list is to take a LSAT class to prep you on the test.
Did you know that out of 29 majors studied, criminal justice majors have the *lowest* LSAT scores? English and economics majors outscore even political science majors.
ReplyDeleteI've met a lot of students that are going into pre-law after graduation that are majoring in those you listed in the blog above. I've also gotten to meet a few students majoring in English to improve their reading and writing skills that will be used in law school.
