What careers and career preparation would you suggest for someone interested in the Law and also considering earning a degree in Business?

I will be a business major next year and am trying to determine if I will also explore some criminology or pre-law type classes. It will be difficult to double major in both areas. However, I think I would like to position myself to follow both of those interests. I also like foreign language studies. #business #accounting #international #criminology #criminal #business-law #pre-law #international-law

Rose’s Answer

Business and Communications would be a good combination to prepare for a joint JD/MBA. If your goal is to practice law and not pursue an MBA, you could major in Business and minor in Communications or Psychology.

Lauren’s Answer

As someone who has considered this path and my brother went to law school, I would say business law classes and other english courses. In law school they do cover contract law and other business related courses, so that background is a good one to have. The other side of law school is a lot of researching and writing so that is where the english courses, how to research and form papers would be helpful as well.

I suggest taking a lot of classes that require writing, reading and quantitative thinking. Law School requires a lot of writing so if your skills in that area need to be sharpen that would be your focus area. Other suggestions would be psychology, philosophy, and public speaking.

Kristina’s Answer

I'm a tax accountant specializing in estates and trusts and I find it as a good combination of business and law. Accounting is part of the business degree and has overlap with law, especially in certain specialties
