With some few exceptions such as medical or dental school - I strongly discourage anyone from going directly to graduate school. Get some work/life experience first - even if it is just a year or two. I earned a law degree about 8 years ago and am starting an MBA now with an employer paying for it - stacking up degrees is useless without the experience to go with it - I say that not only as someone going on her third degree, but as someone who routinely reviews resumes and interviews people and a page full of degrees doesn't usually get you past the first mark with me. As for law school, if I had to do it again I would have majored in history as an undergraduate student. Law school wasn't in my plans so I didn't "prepare" for it per se, but the best study tool I had to catch up was my nephew's 6th grade social studies book!!
