What classes do I need to take inorder to be ready for law schools?

Answer 1

I just graduated from law school and it is HIGHLY advised that you are CONVINCED you want to be a lawyer.
Law school is expensive and about halfway through most people don't want to be a lawyer.

IF you really want to go:
1) Take as many critical reading and writing classes as you can. Most attorneys and judges complain about poor critical writing and reading skills attorneys have. Practive persuasive writing and reading comprehension. Some examples would be philosophy, literary criticism and any other class where persuasion and argumentation are cornerstones of the class.
2) Political science and American Government and American History for policy background.
3) Small business courses if you want to go solo.
4) A course in logic may help understand how to "think like a lawyer".
5) Public speaking classes, especially debate, help you get over nervousness in front of your peers.

Good luck.

Answer 2

In retrospect, I believe that any course that forces you to think analytically and "on-your-feet" would be helpful.

In most any law school you attend, you will be required to (1) read AND comprehend a large amount of material, (2) analyze and critique that material, and (3) work hard.

Pick out classes with professors that have a reputation for being demanding, require extensive reading, and require writing.

My own thought is that law school is like boot camp for your mind. Be prepared to work VERY hard and you will do well. Good luck!

Answer 3

1) Logic courses for the test
