Hetal’s Answer

There’s no single “best” major for law school. Choose one where you can score well and build strong analytical and writing skills.
Political Science, Economics, English, History, or Philosophy are great options because they improve critical thinking and argument skills.
Focus on a high GPA + strong reasoning ability that’s what law schools value most.
Thank you comment icon I completely agree! Work on writing skills as well. Rachel Littman

Tom’s Answer

Perhaps pick a paralegal major where you could learn the nuts and bolts of law practice. That would lay a very strong foundation for your legal career. Also, consider areas of practice that appeal to you such as construction, nursing, technology and even finance. Attorneys tend to practice primarily in areas of specialty like this. My focus of specialization was construction litigation and I loved it. Think and explore along those lines , and you should come up with something. And of course , you should consult with another expert to make sure that you have some very solid leads and direction to go in. Good luck.
