<p>I want to be a lawyer.Which undergraduate course should i major in before law school?Any suggestions would be welcome.</p>
<p>Whatever interests you and makes you look good to law schools. (High GPA and the more prestigious the undergrad school, the better.) There really are no limits. </p>
<p>Some law specialties require certain undergrad degrees, or almost always do. For example, patent lawyers are almost always engineers, but sometimes they can be science majors.</p>
<p>GPA and LSAT are the main criteria for law school admission.

<p>Major in whatever you want (though consider your intended law specialty, e.g. engineering or science for patent law). But be aware that the LSAT has a logical thinking section, so it is no surprise that majors like math, physics, and philosophy tend to have among the highest average LSAT scores.</p>
<p>You should also be aware that job prospects for lawyers outside the top-14 law schools is abysmal… please venture forth with your eyes open. The law school grad labor pool is huge.</p>
<p>I think that’s a bit inaccurate. It’s also difficult to predict the job market 3-4 years from now, or 7-8 in the case of a HS student.</p>
<p>Basic rule of thumb is, top ranked grads get the first pick at everything, even at lower ranked schools. (In the Midwest, no one really gives a crap if you’re from Harvard Law. They can’t afford your salary demands anyway.) If you choose to go to law school, do everything in your power to be in the top 10-15% of your class, especially at the end of the first semester and the first year. You have no other mission in life other than that. Treat it like joining a monastery.</p>
<p>Ahh… much better advice than mine MrMom. My bias is showing through. Hope the OP heeds your advice.</p>
