What major is best for becoming a lawyer?
Answered

Hey y'all! I've been into law for a long time, but now that I'm in high school and researching it, I actually have NO idea what major I should take! :') I was thinking about becoming a corporate lawyer or medical malpractice lawyer. Which major should I take for that? Any and all answers are appreciated!!

For corporate, you could try Business or Economics (or really a lot of related fields under that, like Accounting) especially if you like math. As for medical malpractice, you could try actual "science-y" majors like Biology and Chemistry, and some colleges even have Health Science/Health Care majors.

Overall broad ones some lawyers take are things like Psychology, Political Science, and History. Best of luck!
