What should i major in to get into law school?

I want to go to College of Mount St. Joseph in Ohio, Indiana University or Purdue University. I want to know what I should major in for these places to get into law school. I have researched and found it isn’t good to major in pre-law. Is this true? Do colleges not like that? Should I major in philosophy and minor in business? What classes should I take? Should I double major? Please give examples of what I should do for each place. Oh and I want to be a criminal law attorney, family law attorney, or medical malpractice attorney.

People most commonly major in political science and/or pre-law.

However, you should probably major in philosophy if your primary goal is to do well on the LSAT.

A philosophy major is helpful but not necessary for LSAT prep. Reading dense material, reading and making logical arguments, dissecting logical arguments, getting a foundation in formal logic, etc.

Philosophy majors tend to do much better than the average test taker (and much better than Political Science and Pre-Law majors):

However, as you will learn from your LSAT prep, correlation does not guarantee causation. Perhaps the type of people who tend to major in philosophy already have the skills/ability to do well.

As I said, majoring (or taking classes) in philosophy does help, probably more so than majoring in something like Political Science. Pick whichever you like more, though. You can prepare to get a super-high score no matter what your major or classes (even underwater basket-weaving, although even a 4.0 GPA in that course of study would not impress adcomms).

You can major in anything for purposes of admission, but, like I said, philosophy may prepare you better than political science and most other subjects.

How do I change Personal injury attorney’s ?

I was in an accident on July 26,2007 my attorney assistant never sent the owner of the car any request for information just her boyfriend who was driving no one is answering and here I am injured? Please help?

If you change attorney’s midstream of a case, the first one will probably charge a huge amount for any work they’ve done so far and may sue you for breach of contract. Be very careful in finding out what is legal to do in this situation…could be even more of a headache. Just pressure the one you have for actions to be taken and be patient…cases like yours can sometimes take years to resolve. Document everything and any contact you have with the lawyer.
