You can go on to law school from any major, but many schools have a pre-law program that you can do for your undergraduate. If your school doesn’t, history or political science are good choices. Minors in econ or philosophy would also be beneficial.
The most helpful majors as an undergrad are the ones that require a lot of comprehensive reading and writing, since that’s what you’ll be doing a lot of in law school. Many law students majored in history, English, economics, government, political science or international relations as undergrads. You can get into law school with other majors, but you need to be prepared for the heavy workload once you get there.
Business would be a good pre-law major. I’m sure you know that law school takes three years after the student earns the bachelor’s degree.
Uh…. law?
Is this a trick question?
