Pre-law Major Law schools generally do not prescribe a specific undergraduate curriculum. Law schools seek those applicants with: (a) a capacity to comprehend, reason and analyze; (b) the ability to express thoughts, persuasively and with clarity, by the written and spoken word; (c) a basic understanding of the institutional structures of our society and the values and thought that mold legal processes. Because the practice of law often deals with a broad spectrum of society, law schools prefer a rather broad selection of courses from a number of major areas, including political science, history, philosophy, speech, English, and Business. Most law schools admit only those with a Bachelor's Degree. Selection of those admitted is based upon the student's cumulative academic grade point and the re– sult of the law school aptitude test (LSAT) - often with heavy emphasis on the lat– ter. The development of a student's abilities of analysis and communication during his undergraduate study is the best preparation for the LSAT. All pre-law majors are strongly urged to have also a second major. I.
