<p>this is my other interest...besides business.
tho i wouldn't want to become a lawyer who has to debate in court every single day or anything. </p>
<p>what are the best universities/colleges for prelaw (is that what it's called?)?
i know yale has the best law school but it's for grads</p>
<p>My only problem with being a lawyer is that I think reading those legal documents may become tedious. I also want to have a good balance of pay and a family life.....at some point. I'm just confused as to what type of lawyer I would want to be.</p>
<p>Depaul University has a good undergrad pre-law program. You can major in history with a pre-law concentration and/or take political science.Depaul also ranks as one of the best business schools for both undergrads and graduates. </p>
<p>Come to think of it, it also has a very good graduate law school, too.</p>
<p>You don't really <em>need</em> a pre-law program to get into a good law school. Just major in philosophy or something that really stresses analytical and writing skills. My school has a legal studies minor, and I think it's just redundant--- all of so-called undergrad 'law' classes you would take are going to be taught again in law school. In fact, it might be best for you to just wait and take them in law school so that you don't have to unlearn any potentially bad habits you might have picked up as an undergrad.</p>
<p>But, if you absolutely MUST have a pre-law program......... I could make a recommendation. I don't know what your credentials are or if you could actually get in, but Notre Dame has a good business college and a well-regarded program of liberal studies (PLS) that would definitely help you prepare for the reading/writing part of law school. It might give you some added intellectual clout when applying for law school. Not that business classes aren't rigorous, it just seems like having more conventionally 'academic' classes could only help you in the end.</p>
<p>Yes, you do not need a "pre-law" program to continue to Law School. Poly Sci, history, philosophy are good choices but here is a somehwat better one-science.
Lawyers who do med mal -medical malpractice cases are truly needed. One must have a science degree, often times, to do same.
An old friend of mine was graduated from MIT with a degree in engineering and went on to Law School from there.
Law-Law often times requires the skil lto read and analyze, and to WRITE! To research and to market, to spin if you will.
It helps if you have a particular knowledge of a subject such as taxes or medicine.</p>
<p>Don't forget you might have to sacrifice some morals for money, if that's the path you want to take.</p>
<p>are lawyers immoral?</p>
<p>If they want to be. Not all take that path, I'm sorry if I was generalizing.</p>
<p>I heard that econ is a good major also. Very analytical</p>
