Would it be a good idea to double major for law school?
I've been considering becoming a lawyer as my parents really want me to become one. Would it be a good idea to double major in undergrad for law school?

Would having a double major in undergrad help if I were to go into specific field of law such as a double major of econ and a business degree for business law?

If I am getting my undergraduate degree with plans to move on to law school, should I worry about how "prestigious" my undergraduate degree looks on a law school application?
I am a senior in high school and my interests are fairly wide-ranging. I plan on eventually attending law school, but I am undecided on school I will attend and undergraduate major. I have been thinking about cost, and my ACT scores and GPA would easily fetch me full tuition at a plethora of state schools. However, I have also applied to a lot of selective schools that would probably cost me lots but would give me whatever advantage comes with having the name of that school on my undergraduate degree. I am debating the pros and cons of each option, but I would be curious to know what someone else might think. #lawschool #college
I know I want to go into the fbi. I also know I need some sort of law enforcement or military background. I don’t know if it would be better to graduate high school and go into reserves and go to college at the same time, go to college and then go into the military afterwards, go straight into the military, or go straight to college and law school. I don’t know how to decide how I’m going to do it.

I have recently decided to go to law school after undergrad. I am currently a sophomore at East Tennessee State. I figured I would major in Political Science and minor in English and Social Work. I want to do something large and make a difference for those who are incapable. I also am not knowledgable on any volunteer work or internships I could do to help me get into law school.

Being someone who aspires to become a lawyer, what specific habits should I develop in college that will help me prepare for law school?
As a senior in high school, I have recognized that college is around the corner. Though I have always considered myself an overachiever, one thing that I do struggle with is studying. When I enter college, I would like to take a more organized approach to my studies, rather than relying on my memory to guide me through my classes. I hope to learn and foster specific methods that will help me retain the most information possible. #law #high-school-students #help #lawschool

Is it hard for a foreigner that went to American Law School to find work?
I'm an undergraduate at UT Austin currently on a student visa and I think I want to go to Law School but I don't know if it'll be easy to find work since I would need the workplace to sponsor an H1-B visa or a Greencard for me to stay in America. Does anybody relate to this situation or know someone that does? It's hard for me to bet my future on this since going to Law School here would be useless if I had to move back to my country afterward. Thank you!
