how do u become a corporate lawyer? what do you major in before going to law school?

Question

what type of classes should you be taking while you are still an undergraduate? and what if you decide to do a master before going to law school what do you think its the best choice?

Answer 1

No major required for corporate law...but check out finance, accounting and/or business administration.



Law school - you don't major in a particular subject; you get a general degree (Juris Doctor) and then specialize when you start practicing law.



See if you can get an internship at a corporation that has in-house / corporate counsel. Or a law firm that specializes in corporate law. Then you can see if you like it or now.



You can do a joint JD/MBA which will take 4 years full-time (rather than the 3-years full time for just the JD). See which law school offers this option.

Answer 2

Corporate Law Major

The fact that you like talking in front of people and presenting ideas does not necessarily mean you will be good lawyer or enjoy being a lawyer. That being said, to be successful in corporate law you have to be exceptionally accomplished academically because that is what good law firms with corporate practices look at. That means you have to graduate from a top law school with top grades which is much harder than it sounds. In order to get into a top law school you need to excel in college and get a high GPA (3.5 or above) and your college should have an excellent reputation too. You don't have to study pre-law and I don't recommend it. A bachelors degree in any major is sufficient but you want to have strong reading and writing skills so you may want to choose your major accordingly. Before you commit to law school though I strongly recommend spending time working in a law office so you can see what lawyers actually do. It's not what a lot of law school applicants think it is, which is one reason why many lawyers end up being so unhappy with their careers.

Answer 4

First of all there is no requirement for law school that you have a particular major for corporate law. Most law programs will require you to take Secured Transactions and Business Organizations anyway and allow to take many more commercial law classes as electives. The only way that undergrad classes might help, is in a job hunt after law school, but as long as you do well in law school, your undergrad major will likely never be discussed in a job interview. So just major in whatever you enjoy, chances are once you get to law school you will change your mind as to the area you want to practice at least a few times.

Answer 5

Be familiar with Corporations.

Be knowledgeable like Hillary and work for Wal-Mart...(joking)



Commercial Law. Management, anything dealing with

large consequences.

Why don't you do a Internship at a law firm?



Check out Monster.com or Hot Jobs....they always have

entry level positions.



Good Luck
