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.

Institutional philosophy -- are you in competition with your classmates? Is it a communal atmosphere? \n\nClass size -- how much contact will you have with professors and what quality?\n\nProfessors -- what professors are there with whom you'd like to study?\n\nOpportunities for internships in school -- education is as much about engagement outside the classroom.\n\nFunding -- will they pay for public interest work if you're interested in it?\n\nFlexibility of courses -- when can you choose your own courses?\n\nClerkships -- if you're interested  in measuring prestige some, looking at where the students clerk after graduation is important.\n\nClinical programs -- are there opportunities to practice law during school?\n\nAlumni networks -- are there good alums who can help you out after graduation.\n\nFinally, many law schools train their students to practice law where they are.  Keep location in mind strongly while considering schools.\n\nGood luck!

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.

What you want is your Juris Doctorate as this is what is required for admission to the bar (USA).\n\nIf you want to specialize in a particular area of the law, then you may want your Master of Laws as a post J.D. degree.\n\nGenerally speaking, it's 4 years for your Bachelors and 3 more years for your J.D.

Hold your horses there, Law school is grad school, unless you're in Canada, where you can obtain a Bachelors of law, you need to finish 4 whole years of college doing something ELSE (usually political science, journalism, something related to law, but that is in no way required), before you do another 4 years of law school. Some colleges let you do coursework over the summer for credit, but it usually pays to wait it out and go with the expected flow. Do your best in high school, get into a good college and follow their pre-law or political science program (I'm polisci myself, going to go to law school in 2010) then apply to good law schools, like Harvard or Yale, or if you can't cut that, UCONN law is great.\n\nGood luck.

You can take anything that interests you to get your undergrad.  This is because to apply to graduate law school you have to pass the LSAT and get a good mark.  If you want to apply to law school first and then go to grad school for law, you can.   I know people who are taking journalism and acting etc for an undergrasduate and then they will take the LSAT and go for law.\nThe LSAT is a logic test.  I took a trial test and did really well.\nTo apply to law school after getting ur undergrad you have to be in the top of your class so why not choose something you enjoy.\nWhy don't you take a sample test and see how you score.\n\nGood luck\nCourses if your in hs-- business and finance, statistics (logic) etc

You are going to want to focus on biology, chemistry, psychology, and child development.  You are going to do 4 years of undergrads, maybe with a pre-med major, psych or child development minor, followed by medical school, internship, and residency.

If you want to be a Social Worker, you should major in Social Work.  If your university doesn't offer that, Psychology would be a close second.  Maybe make sociology your minor.

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.

There really isn't a specific "pre-law" program that law schools want you to complete before you apply for admission to law school.  They will accept students from just about any undergraduate major, depending on your grades, LSAT scores, and other variables.

If you go into a law career, you're going to have to learn to spell and write clearly.  Well, clearly for a lawyer, anyways.  Full, complete, and correct sentences.\n\nWith a law degree, you can work in a law firm, for the government, for large businesses, or in politics.\n\nHope this helps.

You need to think about what kind of lawyer you want to be. A criminal lawyer or a civil lawyer? Civil law has lots of aspects to it (which you need to investigate) so I would say that you need a good grounding in the sciences as well as the arts. Try looking at websites of universities which offer law and see what they recommend. You should also think about doing a degree which isn't related to law, working for a few years in your chosen field, then doing a law degree later (so you get experience of life). Good luck!

A good first step would be learning to spell and punctuate and/or proofreading your questions before submitting them.  This is becuase being a lawyer entails tons of detail-oriented work.  Then, after your graduate from university (and if you are in the United States), take your LSAT exam.  Upon getting your LSAT scores, apply to law school (applications will require recommendations from professors, essays, transcripts from your undergraduate degree, etc.).  After 3 years of law school, you will have to take the bar exam in the state in which you wish to practice law.  Once you pass the bar, you are admitted to practice law in that state.  You will be a lawyer.

First, work hard on your bachelors. It can be any major, just make sure you enjoy it and do well. You need to get the best grades you can to be competitive - the admissions process is getting more and more competitive every year.\n\nIn your junior year, start thinking about studying for your LSAT - the law school admissions test.  You probably want to take it no later that October of your senior year, so you can have your applications complete for early admissions in October and November.\n\nIt's really best to study through a classroom course like Kaplan - you can get some personal attention, study with real questions, and take plenty of full length tests - exactly what you need to do in order to do well on the LSAT.  \n\nYou want to start being really nice to your professors, so you can get great letters of reccomendation.  Also, if you can, an internship, volunteer position, or a part time job will help fill out your resume.\n\nGPA and LSAT are the two most important factors for getting into school - the letters of rec and personal statement are just the icing on the cake.  Work hard on your GPA and especially your LSAT (a great LSAT score will balance out a lower GPA).\n\nCheck out http://www.LSAC.org for information on the LSAT, law schools, and the admissions process.  If you are at a university now, talk to your career office - they will usually have a prelaw advisor on staff who will help you get started.  Good luck!!

Going to university to do law degree or if you already have a degree then a conversion course.\n\nLike someone else said, there's no real point in a level law unless you are interested in law but don't want to do it as a career.  Some university law courses even prefer people not to have the A level.

Go for a college that specializes in the major you want to take up.

Well, this really depends on what you want to do with your college degree and in general what you are interested in.  I would suggest picking something that you are interested in and take that.  Pick subjects that are required for your major, but also select electives that you find interesting or that you are curious about.
