<p>I think it would hurt you to be a ed major (especially elementary/early childhood ed) and then apply directly to law school vs being a ed major, teach for a couple of years and then attend law school. At least if one plans on teaching middle school/high school they need to have a subject specialty (so one can major in English, Math, Science, History, etc.</p>
<p>I don’t think law schools hold teaching against law school applicants (as evidenced by the number of free fee waivers one gets for doing TFA). </p>
<p>However, with programs like TFA & NYC teaching fellows, one does not have to be an ed major to teach in the NYC public school system (they will eventually have to obtain a masters should they decide to stay).</p>
<p>Outside of being mandated reporters for children’s services, neglect, abuse, etc. working in education (outside of being an administrator), hardly ever crosses path with ed law.</p>
