What's a better choice for law school major: international law or criminal?

Question

i'm black and i want 2 be in a field with not that many blacks

Answer 1

This one is easy. Choose whichever legal field you find the most interesting. You will always be more successful in a field that you enjoy -- and that's true regardless of what "color" you are. A sanitation engineer who enjoys his work will usually end up much more successful (and that includes having more money) than a lawyer who hates working as a lawyer.

If you're not already in a law school, I agree with the person above who mentioned the military. If you're a college graduate and can qualify, and can "cut the mustard" as an officer candidate, are accepted to a law school and are willing to take on a six-year commitment to work as a military lawyer after graduating, you can probably have the government pay for your tuition and all expenses at law school, while giving you a salary to boot!

Plus, as far as the potential for advancement is concerned, the American military services are probably the most "colorblind" professional organizations in the world.

Answer 2

International Law for me - Learn another 2 languages - The US. DEPT of State is always looking - Or the FBI. - Or Criminal Law and the Military ( Join the few, the good ), a full Captains Rank w/ the US MARINES and assigned to the Adjutants General Office in D.C .- Not bad -  

Answer 3

Criminal Law you will make at least $100k a year with your own practice. International Law in the military has a lot of perks, but the pay sucks. A captain right now makes $3407.40 a month.
