I recommend that you consider doing courses in  HRM, HRD and compensation management. although your LLB will not be of any help directly but will make a useful combination . this qualificatin (HR \ncourses with LLB) has great potential for getting good jobs.

I am pre-law as well and I am majoring in English, with a minor in History (because that interests me). I plan on becoming a probate attorney and I know that a political science, although popular for pre-law students, is not really looked upon as a wonderful choice. English is a great major to have in my eyes due to the simple fact that you are doing a massive amount of reading, writing and analyzing; all of which you are going to have an abundance of in law school.\n\nAt this point, there is no real needed emphasis on becoming the type of attorney that you want to be. That will come when you are in law school. Yes, you will have required courses, but you will still have a certain level of "electives" where you can take classes that have emphasis on tort law.\n\nGood luck to you and all of your future studies.

You will need to take a college level math course. It only has to be basic. In conjunction with your BS in CJ, I wholeheartedly recommend that you minor in either Psychology or Social Work. And if you plan to enter a career in Federal Law Enforcement, please be advised that many agents have specialized degrees in accounting, law, bio sciences, political science, psychology and human behavior. I would also encourage you to learn a foreign language to broaden your marketability.  Good luck.

1. According to the American Bar Association, a paralegal (or legal assistant) is defined as "a person qualified by education, training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible." \n\n2. As a paralegal, you will perform administrative tasks such as filing, retrieving and organizing documents, photocopying, and the ever-popular numbering of pages. \n\n3. Depending on the employer, when taking a break from hole-punching, you may get to participate in more glamorous tasks such as interviewing witnesses or drafting legal documents. \n\n4. As a corporate paralegal (you work in a firm that mostly oversees the merging or acquisition of companies), you will put together record sets. These are large binders filled with primary documents associated with particular business deals. \n\n5. As a litigation paralegal (you work in a firm where people go to court and sue other people), you will handle the documents associated with trials. You'll spend hours making sure that the pages of all these documents are identical in each set. You'll also do a bunch of indexing -- describing the documents in a computer database, putting papers in boxes, and labeling them, so that attorneys can find them later. \n\nsource  http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/minis/mini/paralegalMINI/paralegalMINI1.html

You can study straight law (the LLB) or you can study any other degree but you have to take the GDL conversion course. If you want to be a solicitor you then have to do the LPC (Legal Practice Course) or if you want to be a barrister you have to do the BVC (Bar Vocational Course). \n\nLPC and BVC are post-graduate courses, the most well regarded establishments to do these courses are the College of Law and BPP school of law. \n\nBoth courses are very expensive (LPC is approx £9k)\n\nOf course, if you live in the US then all this information is not applicable to you!\n\nGood luck!

check with your future law schools first, they can tell you what they're looking for.  if they say it doesn't matter, then major on what you plan to do with your law degree.  for example, if you plan to be an environmental lawyer, study environmental sciences.  if you plan to be a family attorney, psychology may be good.  it all depends on what you want to do and what the law school requires.  they may just want a criminal justice degree, who knows?  but find out from them first and go from there.

I dont think so really, you could ask your local council about what training courses they offer. They may run cheap adult education classes in the evenings that can train you to be a class room assistant. You could try that first and see whether you seriously want to dot hat job without commiting to unicersity.

you need to have a bachelors...doesn't matter in what.  I found that political science as a major was helpful.  Criminal justice also would be very helpful.  There is no specific program to follow...you can have a bachelors in gym, they don't really care....unless you are applying to a super competitive school like Harvard or something.  Have a good GPA, then apply and get accepted to law school.  Then it will be 2-3 years and you will have a juris doctor. Then you have to pass the bar, and you can practice law.

you would have to contact a local university and find out what classes from your previous law degree are still valid here and what others you would have to take.i'm guessing you might have to retake the basic classes such as government,english and history.and then of course take the bar exam to be able to practice law here.best option would be to discuss that with a local college counselor.best of luck to you.

Entry level positions are virtually non-existent when it comes to paralegals (check the adds and you'll see). You're best bet is to start out as a legal assistant (secretary) as those jobs are much more prevalant. If you can find a legal assistant job specifically in the area for which you'd like to do paralegal work in (probate, litigation, etc.) even better. When you apply, let them know that you have your paralegal degree or certificate and that eventually you'd like to work in that capacity. Trust me, I started out at our law firm as an office services clerk (copy/mail guy) and went on to litigation paralegal status and now I am the Snr. litigation support specialist at my firm. Best of luck to you.

I am in school right now for this. I am getting an associates in Paralegal (2 years), but then I am transferring to a four year program. You can get a job with the two year, but most employers prefer the four year ones I think. Also, most employers prefer experience over education.

I agree with Michiru Kaioh. If you want to go into politics get your undergraduate degree in politicial science. If you want to set yourself up to lead a major corporation, get your undergrad in business administration. If you want to practice intellectual property and copyright law a business undergrad will also suffice. If you want to be an ambulance chaser and do accidents and divorces an english undergrad degree will be fine.
