Pre-Law: 3 years or Double Major

<p>

You can major in anything you want for pre-law purposes. Law school admissions is mainly about college GPA and LSAT scores:

</p>

<p>Absolutely correct. Major/double major is of no consequence.</p>

<p>

What “law” do you expect to practice?</p>

<p>If patent law/intellectual property then “minor” in a science or engineering discipline.</p>

<p>If corporate law then “minor” in business or economics.</p>

<p>If constitutional law then minor in government…

</p>

<p>And wait for the handful of folks who are real constitutional laywer/scholars to die. And that of course, assumes that you attend the top 3 law schools. Otherwise, the chance of becoming a constitutional lawyer are slim and none. :)</p>

<p>btw: I would guess that a huge chunk of law applicants are Poli Sci/Government majors. Ho-hum.</p>
