What courses in University will I have to take to help me become a lawyer? -

I want to go to Ottawa U to get a masters degree in Political Science; but I was wondering if there are any courses which I can take that would be more suitable for me when I am in Law School?

Hi, For me you can take Economics or Accountancy. These are good prelaw courses. Accountancy tackes and gives you a good foundation in corporate laws, obligations and contracts and others regarding business. Economics is also a very good prelaw course because it is more on analytical reasoning, it also has a subject regarding the quot;economics and lawquot; (like property rights, torts, Intellectual Property Rights of course with application of economic principles).

Look up the law schools you are interested in attending someday,and see what their required prerequisite courses are. This will give you a feel for what you need to take as an undergrad. Chances are, if you major in Pre-law at your school you will have everything needed to pass your exams and get into law school...however, many people also major in humanities such as english, psychology, political science, economics and go on to law school as well

political science is something law schools see a lot of, you ll look exactly like every other applicant. what s really good right now is to major in something along the lines of engineering or computer science, lawyers with that type of background can make insane money as patent lawyers, and they re in intensely high demand right now.

There was a study done recently that said Classics majors did best in Law School. This could be because they already know Latin, which makes memorizing the terminology a piece of cake. It could also be the complex thinking needed for languages such as Latin, or the real tough one, Greek. So taking a Latin course certainly would be helpful in your journey to law school.

There is no specific requirements other than a good GPA and a good LSAT score. asuming UBC, you will need an average LSAT of 164/180 and a GPA average of B or better to be competitive enough. They will also consider women, racial minorities and people with disabilities more often to create a balance.

And the reason those people major in that quot;uselessquot; stuff is that it teaches them how to RESEARCH. These folks will beat the pants off other lawyers eight days a week--contrary to TV, law is a drudge business.

why get a masters if you are wanting to go to law school? you know you only need a bachelors for that right?
