Why is there any point of learning algreba if i want to be a lawyer.?

Answer 1

A big part of getting into law school, getting through law school and being a lawyer is the ability to use logical reasoning. Algebra is one of the most important forms of logic there are, and forces you to think in ways that will help as you go through school. Law schools look at your logical reasonability (you need to take math and logic to prove this) and your ability to comprehend and write (English and literature among other subjects).

Answer 2

First of all, get rid of the use of "i" if you want to be a lawyer. Communication is essentially what you are paid for. If you have not mastered the basics of capitalization, you are not going to make it through law school.

It will be useful when you tell your client that your rate of $250 per hour was derived from a complex formula whereby your value was arrived at by factors including cost of education, income forgone during those years, overhead, and the possible cost of future payments to the lawyer's soon to be ex-spouse because a law degree is marital property in NY.

Just kidding (maybe not, my undergrad was in accounting!)

Seriously, just about every worthwhile undergraduate institution requires you to take a core curriculum that will include math. If the truth be told, my accounting degree was much harder to obtain than my law degree. I had to take statistics, calculus, etc.. It is a rite of passage, but the fact is that you have to be smart to hold other people's liberty in your hands, and that is what a lawyer does.

The law license is difficult to obtain (the bar is terribly hard). Disciplining yourself to do math problems will come in handy when you have to memorize 33 subjects that you have never taken in 6 weeks in order to pass the bar! Math comes into play because you are expected to know how to maintain attorney accounts and to be a fiduciary.

Being a lawyer actually qualifies you to be many other things while bypassing traditionally requirement. Ex.: Sell real estate, stock, and to be a notary.

Answer 3

Law is about headaches, struggle, aggravation, stress, studying irrelevant boring things you will never use, and then studying months for useless bar exam on 20 subjects, if you can't put up with a simple algebra class you should stick to the trades, be a plumber or electrician you will probably make more money and you will definitely have better job security. We need more lawyers, like we need more herpes.

Answer 4

Its considered a "right of passage" which is necessary for almost all "undergraduates" to endure.

I want Law degree with a joint masters in accounting and im required too take up to calculus.

The truth is math is very analytical and a lawyer will need these skills to succeed in the LSAT and in law school. You may not use math as a lawyer but "problem solving" is essential.

Check out the "logic games" on a practice LSAT and youll see it's not algebra but they are harder :-D

good luck...

Answer 5

Because the purpose of an education is to teach you how to think. Algebra teaches you to solve complex problems using steps and following procedure. You will need this skill as a lawyer.

Answer 6

In order to get into law school you need good grades. With really good grades and a high LSAT score you may be able to get a scholarship for part of law school.

As a lawyer you will have a variety of clients, including Algieba teachers and scientists, you need to at least have some knowledge of what they do.

Hang in there with the math. If you decide you want to start you own law firm you will need it. Good luck.

Answer 7

Why is there a point to learning anything? Getting your "diploma" requires taking a TON of useless crap that you'll NEVER use but once you have that degree you can be proud that you struggled through getting it. It impresses most people.

Answer 8

If you don't do algebra, you don't get to be a lawyer. That's it

Answer 9

Because it teaches you to follow directions and look for small details.

Answer 10

There is no point to algebra period.
