Pre-law is a scam. The reason colleges offer the pre-law “major” is student demand. Students are looking for it, so schools list it in the hopes of recruiting more students, not because it is an appropriate preparation for law school. However, law schools are not particularly interested in pre-law or legal studies majors which, at their worst, are more vocationally oriented. It is better to select a major which demonstrates critical thinking skills … which is why the humanities and social sciences are the usual choices. Schools which do not offer pre-law as a major are actually doing a service to students.
