American Bar Association
Pre-Law Statement from the American Bar Association
"The ABA does not recommend any particular group of undergraduate majors, or courses, that should be taken by those wishing to prepare for legal education; developing such a list is neither possible nor desireable. The law is too mulitfaced, and the human mind too adaptable, to permit such a linear approach to preparing for law school or the practice of law."
