I'm a semester ahead in credit and don't need the credit to graduate on time still, so I would simply take that semester off from class and just have the internship. Would law schools look at this positively, negatively, or neutrally? ]]> Law School collegebound2012-167582 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/law-school/813341-taking-semester-off-abroad-internship.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/law-school/813339-logic-courses-lsat-prep.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:35:08 GMT Quick question- would introduction to logic sort of classes (philosophy dept) be a help in preparing for the lsat?

Is a JD better than a BA? Are Law practices more likely to just hire someone with a BA before their JD? Or does it matter..... if you pass the Bar you pass the Bar right?
