<p>Will t14 law schools look highly upon applicants that are fluent in a second language? (spanih for example)?
p.s. Im learning it either way so jw.</p>
<p>Probably if you are a native, as you’d be more diverse culturally. Other than that, probably not. Do you think you could ace the LSAT if you took it in the foreign language you are learning? I doubt it. Nevertheless, if your answer was yes, think about doing a joint program where you get a JD from the US and a law degree from a foreign country in which your language is spoken (eg Cornell’s program in france, etc).</p>
<p>U of Penn, I also hear, has a similar program like the one Wildflower describes. but do you raelly need to be THAT fluent ? like native ? cuz im thinking of doing some law in france, but by college, I don’t think I’d be fluent enough to practice law (even if i majored in it, obviously you need to know law jargon in that language) .</p>
<p>A large number of T14 law applicants are proficient in a second language, because that’s typical of humanities and social science grads at the colleges that feed the T14. This will not make you stand out. Do it because it’s valuable to you.</p>
