Hi first of all your dad is a legend. I wish someone would have said that to me 😂. Being a first one to go to college and in law school in my family it feels so good knowing that I can make my parents happy. But it was nerve wrecking knowing most of my friends came from a good school and their parents were actually lawyers. When I talked to some of them, I learned so much just having conversation with them. Their insight was deep and I knew they had that edge as they knew more about the practise as they grew up watching their parents read documents or working once in while at home. But ya it disappears overtime like that. I believe it’s all about hunger. We must be hungry to make something, to do something to make our life better than it was yesterday.

@G Ha I learned a lot from voraciously reading books and magazines over the years -- self-study. That may sound sophomoric, although I was one of those kids that read the Wall Street Journal and Business Week (maybe not cover to cover!) in high school. I devoured tons of material about business throughout high school, college, law school, post-law school. None of that is a replacement for real experience, although it gave me tremendous context and a framework for my experience when it came. I also grew up around small business (we have a fourth generation extended family business) and I studied Economics in college, so I had studied and read a lot before law school. Since then, I have 20 years in law, finance, and entrepreneurship. In all, I have a lot of experience in business and finance spread over many years. But, I still put a whole lot of stock in all those nights and weekends reading books and magazines anyone can get their hands on. You can learn a ton without leaving your house. Harvard Law School did a lot for me in many ways, although it wasn't the primary way I learned about business and finance (more like a distant fourth!).

The explanation of the deciding reasons for becoming a transactional lawyer was so funny. I decided I wanted to become a lawyer when I was 4 years old, chose corporate during my freshman year of highschool. That same year we held a mock trial court case for our final eval projects (i went to a special hs) and I scored extremely well. I had loads of fun preparing my case but I realized that it didn't do much for me. I really got into it tho when we started going over contracts which everyone else hated. I'm applying to law school this year and I guess I finally know exactly what it is I want to do. 😊

Zack, I studied Economics in college. As I said in my answer to Priyanka, I don't think your undergrad degree is all that important to your career in law. If you know you're going to law school, I recommend studying what you want to study, which is not bad advice no matter what you end up doing, although it's even more pertinent if you study law. You'll get all the legal training you need over time. Other subjects, especially the arts, writing, marketing -- I'd make a case that these are more valuable long-term than pre-law classes. If you were inclined to take a couple years between college and law school, studying accounting would be a great move, IMO, especially if you go into corporate law. If I did it again, I'd do that. Like law, accounting is a technical subject, a type of language (in a way) that you either speak or don't. It's helpful in corporate law to speak it. I worked for a year as an analyst at Bloomberg Financial Markets -- a great company and a fun year, although not that valuable for my career necessarily.

Great informative video. I am currently attending Queens University of Charlotte's business school and am also working for a law firm in Charlotte, NC, and wanted to have an idea of how my business background can be tied to the field of law.

Economics (so much of legal policy is intertwined with economic theory), philosophy (improve your overall thinking and logic), and writing classes -- those classes will give you important ways of thinking that will help you throughout your legal career. Actual undergrad law classes (e.g., business law, constitutional law) are, IMO, less useful. You'll learn those subjects in law school, so aside from having a little more background than your classmates, it doesn't do much for you, IMO.

The first year of law school is comprised of core classes that all students take - contracts, criminal law, constitution law, property, torts, and a few others. Students are free to study what they want in the following (two) years. So, you could pursue classes about business law and not any regarding litigation. However, you may not be able to choose ALL business classes for a couple of reasons: 1) There are only so many business law classes available. There are many other course topics (subject matters) besides business and litigation, e.g., bankruptcy, environmental law, history of law, negotiations, legal theory classes, ethics, etc. I don't know exactly, but I'd estimate that only 10% of the average law school's course catalog is courses that we'd consider to be business law courses. In other words, there may not be enough business law courses to fill up four semesters of full-time coursework. 2) some practical realities impact students' ability to choose only the courses they want, including (a) classes with high demand may be tough to get into, especially in your second year (most schools give class choice preference to third-year students), (b) I'm told that some schools have GPA requirements or other criteria that affect some students' ability to choose specific classes, and (c) your class choices may be limited by scheduling issues, e.g., some business law classes may be taught at the same time (i.e., you can only choose one of them) or you may have work or an internship that takes place at the same time as certain business law classes - these types of scheduling issues are common and result in students choosing courses that fit with their schedule but are not always what they would choose purely from an interest perspective.

there is definitely overlap there, in terms of how much general business knowledge a great corporate lawyer needs to have. Corporate lawyers are trained to draft contracts in a manner that a business major would not be able to do. They may be able to read a contract and provide good feedback, although the technical aspects of writing the contract are far outside the typical business major's skillset and corporate lawyers have deep knowledge of contract enforcement terms and other matters that are strictly laws (common laws and statutes) that are also outside the area of expertise of most general business persons

Zohra, the first choice you have is whether or not you definitely want to be a lawyer. Law school is a general degree. You don't need to specialize in criminal law or corporate law or litigation -- you can make that choice later, during or at the end of law school (or even switch careers later). The commitment to a law school is a big one, though, given it's three years and has gotten expensive at most schools. If you aren't ready to make that commitment, you should try to intern or even get an admin job at a criminal law firm -- any exposure that might help you understand that world would help.

That just kind of happened over the past four years, and I don't want the relative percentages to shift much (i.e., I'm not interested in being 100% in litigation), although it has helped my transactional practice to be involved in litigation firsthand (as a general counsel, I oversaw a lot of litigation for our company, although it's different to manage it from a high-level vs. actually being in the weeds getting it done).

I think it's one of the better undergrad majors from the standpoint of value to your law school studies. That said, the value is not SO strong that you should study economics purely to help you in law school. Study what you want to study. I've never seen research around this issue, although I'd be surprised if there is any correlation between undergrad majors and law school success and, if there is one, I'd draw conclusions cautiously.

Most attorneys in the U.S. consider corporate law and business law to be the same thing. I generally use the word "corporate" when talking to other attorneys and clients with a lot of experience working with lawyers like me, and I use the word "business" when talking to other people ("business" seems like an easier, more helpful way to describe what I do to people without a lot of experience in my world). Commercial law can be used interchangeably with those terms, although I more often hear it used to refer to a more narrow niche of corporate/business law--the laws applying to the purchase and sale of goods, e.g., in the U.S., transactions under the Uniform Commercial Code. I don't use the term commercial law very often. Rarely.

No, you cannot practice in the U.S. with only those degrees. You need a law degree from an ABA (American Bar Association)-accredited law school.

And can you even get into an LLM program without a juris doctor (law degree)? I would not think so.

A business degree would help you as a corporate lawyer, especially courses in accounting and finance. Other helpful undergrad degrees are economics (so much of legal policy is intertwined with economic theory), philosophy (improve your overall thinking and logic), and English or other majors with a heavy emphasis on writing. I've written, in response to similar questions in the past, that, because your undergrad degree has little bearing on your ability to go to a good school, get hired by a great firm, or be a great corporate lawyer, that you should study what you want to study. Assuming you become a corporate lawyer, the marginal benefit you would derive from completing one of the degrees I mentioned above, as compared to, for example, an art history major, is unlikely to outweigh the benefits of the latter if you're super passionate about art history.
