Potential Majors for an Aspiring Lawyer?

<p>I disagree with Cmoss. Even if you think you’ll be going into corporate law, it’s best to choose a major that interests you. Having a finance or business background will not grant you some great advantage when it comes to hiring season. And most of the “lingo” and relevant knowledge will be gained on the job anyway. </p>

<p>White-shoe law firms focus on grades and school reputation. Even if you aced all your courses at Wharton undergrad, if you’re a middle-of-the-pack student at a tier three law school, you can kiss your chances at BIGLAW goodbye.</p>
