If you are thinking about majoring in criminal justice before law school all the power to you. However, you should know that law schools don’t necessarilylook for a criminal justice major when looking over the applications.

In one of my previous posts I tackled the criminal justice versus law school question in a different manner. Its nature is a little different from this particular question, but it may provide answers to those that are interested in law school, criminal justice, and the legal field.

Personally, I applied to the top-notch law schools in the country. With a high LSAT score, great letters of recommendation, an honest personal statement, and 3.96 undergraduate GPA I was able to get into some of the top 10 schools in the country, law schools that it. I had a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration prior to applying.

After months of deliberating and questioning my personal motives I chose the criminal justice route, instead of the law school one. I was more interested in the sociology, psychology, and “the way things work” aspects of the criminal justice system. To this day I remain happy with my decision.

Should you major in criminal justice?

Okay, I know, you have endured enough prior to reading this part of the post. So without any farther delay, let’s continue.

Well, a criminal justice major would not hurt if you plan to practice “public” sector law. Criminal law and immigration law are just two examples, of many, where a criminal justice bachelor major would be highly desired ( but is not required ).

Some people say that a business degree or a political science degree will do the trick. The fact is that law schools want to accept individuals of diverse backgrounds, including myriad types of college degrees.

If you are not sure what to major in, and you like law enforcement and criminal justice, then I highly recommend majoring in criminal justice or related degrees.

If you are not sure and don’t know if you like criminal justice, yet you would like to go to law school after your bachelor degree, I highly recommend majoring in something you like. However, the stronger the subject matter of your undergraduate degree, the stronger are the chances that you will get into the law school of your choice. A degree in basket weaving won’t help. So, you must choose wisely.

If you have  any more questions about law schools, the criminal justice system, or just want to leave a comment you can do so below… in the comments section, of course. Good luck!
