What is a good major for a prospective lawyer?

Question

I am considering law as a potential career? What would be a major that would help me become a lawyer? I am currently interested in international relations/international business/political science.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!!!

Answer 1

Pre-law (if offered)

Political science

Business

International Business

Communications

History

Answer 2

At most schools the political science department has the majority of aspiring lawyers. You should join the pre-law clubs that are offered on campus.

Answer 3

Political Science

Communication

Business

Answer 4

Major in English would be good because lawyers do tons and tons of writing.  

Answer 5

Those who enter law school come from many different academic backgrounds ranging from business to health and everything in between.

Personally I feel that psychology and philosophy helps to prepare you for life at law school. Both subjects develop your critical thinking skills as well as improving your reading, analytical and writing abilities.

Other majors to consider: Business, history and political science.
