why do you need to take pre-law before you go into law school?

Answer 1

You don't. You need a bachelor's degree to get into law school because you need basic learning. But what you major in is entirely up to you. Some lawyers have English degrees, political science, sociology, whatever. Pre-law is a convenient route by by no means the only.

Answer 2

You don't have to major in pre-law, but it helps a lot to be prepare. I would advice you to major in political Science, and minor in Criminal of Justice. You will find out later on, that will help you in your studies in Law School. It also, has the other advantage that will prepare you if law is the degree for you, and if you should go for it. Many have taken the Law degree, and after all the hard work, and it is a lot of hard work, they end up changing their course, and taking another ventures.

Answer 3

You don't. I've met very few lawyers who actually majored in pre-law before law school. If you want to do patent law work, get an engineering or biology degree undergrad. If you want to be a business lawyer, get a business degree.

Answer 4

You don't.
You need a bachelor's to get into Law School.
Pre-Law is a common path to law school, but so aren't Bachelor's in English, Philosphy, Criminal Justice, and Political Science. You can major in just about anything in college and still go to law school. They don't look as much at your major, as they do at how well you did, what your recommenders have to say about you, you're LSAT score, and you're writing skills.
