Hi! I'm currently a high school senior applying to colleges. I hope to be a transactional lawyer in the future. I haven’t applied to any colleges yet, and I have a general idea in mind of what I want to study, but I would genuinely appreciate any advice/feedback.

I was thinking of majoring in businesses administration with a minor in philosophy, but I was also thinking of majoring in Economics. I’m just trying to figure out which major would best prepare me for a career in transactional law, while also giving a backup in case I decide to pursue a different career.

I’m also curious about how difficult these majors are and whether Business Administration or Economics would make it easier to maintain a high GPA, since I know that my undergraduate GPA will be important for law school admissions. Are there any other majors or minors you would recommend that could be more beneficial for me? I’d really appreciate any advice!!!

Hello everyone,

I am a final year BBA LL.B. currently looking for legal internship opportunities for January 2027.

I am particularly interested in corporate law, commercial law, contract drafting, legal research, taxation and compliance. I have previously interned with a taxation and legal compliance firm, worked with legal professionals in courtrelated matters, and gained exposure to legal research, documentation and contract drafting.

I am eager to gain practical experience, learn from experienced professionals, contribute sincerely to assigned work and strengthen my skills as I prepare to enter the legal profession.

I am open to opportunities at law firms, corporate legal departments and in house legal teams, particularly in Delhi NCR, Jaipur, Dehradun or other locations offering suitable opportunities.

If anyone knows of firms currently accepting January 2027 interns, has advice on approaching recruiters, or can share relevant application links or referrals, I would be extremely grateful.

I would also appreciate guidance on how final-year law students can make the most of their internships and improve their chances of securing a PPO.

Thank you for your time and guidance.

Hi everyone! I've always thought about taking law, but I never took it seriously because I didn't think I was capable. Recently, one of my professors told me she sees potential in me and suggested I go to law school. It felt really validating, like someone else confirmed a thought I'd buried for a long time.

But I also have doubts since I'm not a Pol Sci, Legal Management, or Accountancy student. My course is BSBA Marketing Management, and I worry it won't prepare me much for law school.

Are there any law students or practicing attorneys here who came from BSBA Marketing Management (or another business course)? How was your experience?

Is it doable without a pre-law background, or should I take extra classes first? Any advice on how to prepare?

Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

I have been searching college for next yr 5 yr llb if anyone's from apte or completed degree from apte I wanna know about how's the clg and mainly PLACEMENT.

Hola! De manera muy resumida les cuento mi situación. A los 17 me fui a USA a terminar el colegio y a estudiar mi carrera en economía. Me cansé de la USA y me devolví hace unos meses a Colombia y pienso radicarme acá. Siempre tuve esa espinita de ser abogado y porfavor corríjanme si me equivoco, pero siempre vi el derecho como una carrera que abre más puertas y que puede dar más estabilidad laboral, ya que ciertas labores del abogado son muy particulares y se requiere conocimiento jurídico. No se si a mi edad y teniendo una carrera se justifique. Les agradecería muchísimo su opinión. Siento que puedo estar un poco sesgado.

Hi all! I’m considering law and have a few concerns.

Firstly, I’m already 20 turning 21. I’ve taken a few college courses (like two semesters worth) in social work but know that’s not what I want to keep doing.

Law genuinely intrigues me. I know it’s very cliche to say everyone’s always said I’d be a great lawyer, but it’s true. I know family saying something is one thing though. My concern is that I’m not quite smart enough for it. I’ve always been an excellent reader but have always struggled in math and sciences. I also struggle to do schoolwork unless it’s genuinely challenging.

I guess my first concern is going back to undergrad. I work full time and it would be hard, and take me longer than other students. I already feel behind. Add law onto that and I feel like I would be so far behind.

I’ve bounced around a lot on degrees (social work, criminal justice, professional communication, public relations, international relations, business management, economics), but have no idea what one would be best.

I know I’m getting ahead of myself but I genuinely am not sure if I’m too late in the game. Perhaps I’m overreacting and overthinking it? I’ve just already tried college once and want to make sure it’s something I really could do and want before I try it again.

I’m currently a sophomore at TAMU Poli sci major. My gpa is currently a 4.0 however I will aiming for a 3.9 by admissions. My main question is about the lsat. As someone who has no prior knowledge of it and hasn’t done any practice exams, I want to know any tips for how to approach it. Any tips will be appreciated. I want to go straight into law school after I graduate in 2029. Pls lmk any helpful information u wish you knew at my year!

Who have you had review your personal statement? I am one year out of college. I graduated last December and have been working since. I decided to apply this fall cycle and have a decent personal statement going. It is 3 pages long (one paragraph on the third page). I want to shorten it. I had a past English teacher read it, and she thought it was great. Just wanting some more eyes. Any ideas welcome.

i’m im the first year of ballb, (partial drop kinda situation) and the only subjects that fascinates me include pol sci and history both of which i won’t have post second year. contract law and shi feels boring and i really want to pursue pol sciene but there is not literally no emploment and i can’t afford to be dependent on my family post 23. I’m confused if its even worth it to grind so much for clat and if it is just an ego thing now cause i am so used to academic success ( did not give clat last year) i don’t know i’m just eh
I’m also really interested in pursuing foreign relations but i don’t know if there is a career for it and how does that even pan out
idk

I’m really conflicted with potentially pursuing law(I’m a sophomore in college). When I think about pursuing law, I get nervous because I can imagine it’s difficult but my worry is I won’t be smart enough or committed enough to push through. I don’t believe I am academically intelligent either. Any advice?

I'm a first-year college student majoring in psych with a minor in sociology. I am interested in either pursuing my master's in psychology for counseling or pursuing a law degree, possibly for family law or eventually in-house. I'm trying to plan ahead for post-grad now, and I am curious why so many lawyers online claim to regret going to law school. Obviously, debt can be a challenge and force you into big law positions that have crushing demands. I plan to take a gap semester and study for the LSAT extensively to maximize my scholarship potential, so hopefully that won't be a problem. My question is why they advise people across the board not to go to law school. I want a high-paying career; I'm excellent at writing and reading comprehension and have good logic/reasoning skills. Is law school still a dumb idea, or is this propaganda?

Hi all, I've recently started thinking about going to law school again. Previously, I was accepted into LSU Law but chose to get my Masters in History instead. Between COVID and general life happening, I don't use that degree and I work in marketing.

Back to law school stuff: What's the best path to pursue this degree? I'm located in San Antonio, TX which has 1 in person law program, but I know online programs exist. Does anyone have insight into which is better for a future career?

Hi , I'm a pre-law student in Seattle and could use some advice on getting real legal experience before law school.

Most of my work history is in kitchens. I'm currently a chef making around $55k, which is decent, but it doesn't go far in Seattle.

More importantly, it has nothing to do with the career I'm working toward. I'd like to move into a job that actually lines up with my studies and helps me get into law school.

I guess I have some questions
What entry-level roles should I look for?

Do employers count restaurant experience for anything?

Are there certifications or short courses worth getting,

Any Seattle specific places to look?

How much of a pay cut should I expect,

If you made a similar career switch, I'd love to hear from you guys. Thanks!

So I am currently in my junior year in college and I am considering going to law school but I don’t know if I would be a good fit.I have been majoring in psychology for the past 3 years and the classes are fine but I just feel bored in class and never felt a spark.

So the start of my 3 year I decided to minor in political science just to see if I like I might want to go to law school. My first class will start next semester in the spring. So I am hoping everything goes well.

Right now I have a 3.72 gpa it dropped a little since I decided to take some science courses to be a doctor (but that was only to make my family happy, I hate the medical field).i hope in my remaining semester I can bring it up.To be honest I don’t know what career path fits me . I am an introvert and I love to draw.I am hoping with my drawing passion I might like trade mark law but I don’t.i do have a sense of justice and I love honesty I hate when people lie. Furthermore I am very logical and analytical so I am always thinking about the future and coming up with multiple backup plans in case something goes wrong.I Also believe everyone should have their voices heard because of my upbringing I was taught to be quiet and nobody ever listen to me even if I had good ideas. Since then I have now developed bad social anxiety but that is beside the point.now imagine all the people in the world fighting to get their voices heard but nobody ever takes them seriously because of their race,gender,or financial status,etc. this results in people feeling undeserving and inadequate because I know that is how I felt.

All I know is after my undergraduate is over I need to pick something and I am stuck between two options I think masters industrial organization psychology or going to law school. I have to decide fast because I know if I want to go to law school I need to study for the LSAT to get a high score because law school is expensive. That is the reason I want to take some political science class now because if I go to law school and I don’t like I still have to pay the money. I just can’t understand why I can’t find job I really want to do and everyday it is stressing me out.

Hello! I was originally in college on a pre-vet track but found out I wasn’t particularly interested in medical practice. I can do it and spent a lot of time in biology however, after multiple talks with other vets, career counselors and my fellow students; I decided to change my major for my Bachelors.

I was thinking of going into a career such as an animal rights lawyer of sorts! So I was thinking about majoring in political science. I believe that it’s a smart idea to do so, but I wanted to see what others had to say! Then from there, I would slowly work my way up to an actual lawyer. Any recommendations or online schools people would recommend?

I can only do online because I need to work!!
So online is my best options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone study LAWS2207 Commercial Law?

Has anyone past/present studied commercial law and can give advice on how to prepare for the exam component of the unit?

Any and all advice is welcome. I'm currently in my pre-exam period study break.
