<p>I understand there is no specific major recommended by Law Schools. I also know that Law Schools prefer to recieve thier students "Tabula rasa" or blank slate. Will majoring from a liberal leaning public institution like the University of California injure one's chances of getting into a good law school, like Harvard?</p>
<p>They don't care if you're liberal; almost all top schools are liberal except for the University of Chicago.</p>
<p>And it will hurt you in that you will need better grades and scores than the median because of Berkeley's poor student quality.</p>

<p>Relative to who? It's true Berkeley grads get little help in the way of grade inflation, but to say thats directly related to the quality of the student body.... its a bit of a stretch. Without LSAT numbers to give a direct comparison it seems to me more a generalization that a fact.</p>
<p>So is it bad to take law related courses in college? I have heard people take both sides of the issue but I'm not sure which is right?.</p>
