I Need Some Advice...

Sat, Jun 20, 2009 at 9:30 AM By: djtlovely212

In a few years I am planning on going to Law school, but until then, I need to get a degree in something else.

What would be a good degree for someone interested in criminal law? Psychology, criminal justice, paralegal (paralegal is more about business than actual law practice), any other suggestions??

The college advisors aren't too helpful with this one, so I was hoping some of you wonderful people might have an opinion lol.

    well, since law school does not require any one to have a specific major to apply, you should pick the major that you will do the best in and get the best grades. Your LSAT score and your college GPA are two very important deciding factors in admissions into graduate schools. but to me, it makes sense that if you want to work as a criminal lawyer, that criminal justice would only make sense as an undergraduate degree. it all depends on what your strengths and weaknesses are in school. you want to be able to get good grades....if u don't have those, then your chances of getting into law school are much slimmer. you want to pick a relevant major but you also want to pick a major that will work out the best for you and make you a competitive candidate for law school. but i'm pretty sure there are websites that have questions like this posted and you may find what you're looking for there. i hope this helps....i'm going through the same thing since i'll be starting college in the fall....except i'm planning on going into journalism :)
