Law schools seek those applicants with: (a) a ca– pacity to comprehend, reason, and analyze; (b) the ability to ex– press thoughts persuasively and with clarity by the written and spoken word; (c) a basic understanding of the institutional struc– tures of our society and the values and thought that mold legal pro– cesses. 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 cumula– tive academic grade point average and the result of the law school aptitude test (LSAT)--often with heavy emphasis on the latter. The development of a student's abilities of analysis and commun– ication during his or her undergraduate study is the best prepara– tion for the LSAT. All prelaw majors are strongly urged to have a second major. I.
