<p>raiderade- My advice will only make your decision about grad vs. law school more difficult. My son is an undergrad and currently plans to go to law school for a similar career choice. He also received mixed advice on the need for law school vs a master in poly sci or public policy. I guess the advice he is following right now is that a master may close some future career doors while a law degree may not be necessary, but more universal. He still has over a year before applying anywhere.</p>
<p>Most importantly, I think you should keep your options open. Many things can change between now and applying to grad or law schools. A strong undergrad experience will prepare you for whichever choice you make later.</p>
