Some people will tell you that learning legal material in an undergraduate setting isn’t as focal for law school as learning academic skills like logical reasoning and technical writing. I’m here to tell you that this is a false choice. Those who take undergraduate legal study also learn writing and thinking skills. And they get a head’s up on the substantive material that they will ultimately confront in legal education. They get, in short, constitutional law, statutory law, legal philosophy and ethics.

So you should not sell yourself short. If you are headed to law school, you should add the pre-law minor or certificate that we have. It’s completely advantageous and never something superfluous. It fits neatly with whatever you are majoring in and silently helps support what you need to be good in law schools.
