What major should i use if i plan to go into law school, for either family court or juvenile justice?


I'm currently in a C.C n id like 2 major in sociology, n use that for a law degree, but I'm not sure what classes to take? n if i major in sociology can i use it towards law school? i really want to do family court, or juvenile justice but not sure if my major goes with wat i chose.

any suggestions??

Sure you can. Many who go to law school major in political science. However, the smarter thing to do is to major in something you can fall back on in case you either don't do well in law school or you change your mind. Also, if your major compliments some specialty in law that's good too. I don't know of sociology would be the best. Check out some careers that are in the field of family or kids and see what degree is required for that.

I was thinking about going to law school with a major in accounting and a minor in law. When applying to 4 year colleges (I was also transferring from a CC) and told them my plan they liked it.

What Law school recruiters want to see is really good grades, initiative, and a well rounded personality. So, just about any major would do; take a few courses that have a strong debate component to them, like philosophy, English, and of course, a law course or two. Choose a major you will enjoy - you will be more motivated to get better grades, and you will be able to talk about it with more interest than stuff you take 'because you think you should'.

Look around and see what legal organizations you can get involved with in your spare time - job shadow a lawyer or organizations that help provide legal advice to people who can't afford one.
