Where does the pre-law factor in?

I'm not sure if this is what they meant, but a lot of my law school classmates were either econ or business majors. A lot of people use those classes as "pre-law" tracks (as opposed to the more traditional ones, like political science) if they want to practice business litigation or transactional work upon graduation from law school.

At my school, we don't have a defined "pre-law" track. In fact, it's very rare that a pre-law actually follows a defined set of courses like a pre-med does. Law students can come from any major - I have friends who are practicing law and did undergrad majors in Computer Science or Architecture. To tell the truth, you can get to law school with any major, not just a political science one =) *cough*Just gotta ace that LSAT and get a good GPA...*cough*

For me, I want to eventually work with corporate law. My major in management science has been personalized to include a lot of business law and corporate finance classes, since those are the areas in which I have interest. Hopefully this answers your question!

I work in consulting doing project management and process improvement work. Right now I'm managing a portfolio of process improvement initiatives which involves a lot of reporting, communications, and hand holding. But in my short 5 years out, I've done everything from recruiting to auditing, application support to managing user acceptance testing. Ironically my husband was a math/comp sci major and I'm the one who wound up in the IT industry.

some people have used theatre as pre-law or part of a pre-law personalized major (acting class comes out in the court room pretty well. Don't take my word for it though, look at their records)

[preciousjeni]

Thanks!

I'm surprised at how many foreign language majors we have on GC now!

My major in undergrad was Foreign Languages, International Government (French).

All one major - my undergrad did it a cool way where it was like a major and a half instead of a double major or a major and a minor.
