Pre- Law Major Few, if any, law schools prescribe a specific undergraduate curriculum. Law schools seek those applicants with: (a) a basic understanding of the institutional structures of our society and the values and thought that mold legal processes; (b) a capacity to comprehend, reason and analyze; (c) the ability to express thoughts, persuasively and with clarity, by the written and spoken work. Because the practice of law generally deals with a broad spectrum of society, law schools prefer a rather broad selection of courses from a number of major areas includ– ing political science, history, philosophy, psychology, speech, English and business.
