<p>It seems that IP/Patent law is a logical choice for people with undergraduate majors in the natural sciences. Are there any other fields of law that chemistry could be applied to? Health care law seems fascinating, I’m just not sure how much I could apply a BS in Chemistry to that field…</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If you want to practice law, you don’t need to be able to apply your undergrad major to that practice - except with IP law. The degree in chemistry may not have a direct correlation to health care law, but it certainly won’t be a negative.</p>
<p>A knowledge of chemistry won’t have a material impact on your ability to practice health care law. Medicaid, Medicare, Elder law, hospital law, malpractice, etc. are more about regulation than chemistry.</p>
<p>The chemistry degree probably is not much help in health care law but could be some help in udersatdning scientific issues in other fields such as environmental law and legal issues affecting research & development.</p>
