The American Bar Association, the American Association of Law Schools, and pre-law advising organizations agree that a solid liberal arts education is the best preparation for law school. Law schools accept students with a wide variety of majors and backgrounds.

Northland offers several majors that are good preparation for law school, such as environmental humanities, psychology and social sciences, and more. These majors train you to think clearly, make good arguments, write effectively, and read with excellent comprehension—all skills needed for law school and the practice of law.

Your advisor will help you find a major that has relevance to the type of law you want to practice and pursue a course of study that best fits.

However you want to navigate your path to law school, our pre-law advisor and staff can help you choose coursework that is good preparation for law school, locate internships in law firms, learn how to prepare for the LSAT, and discuss what law school is like, including what it will cost.
