Would entering law school with a degree in International Relations be good?

I have applied to many universities, most notably George Washington U, Vanderbilt U, NYU.

Cost is not a factor for me so I am sure I will be going to one of those.

Would majoring in International Relations be a good tract into Law School?


Hi Dan,

Yes, it would be a good educational background for you to have this degree. Of course, it depends on what you do with your education and how you utilize it.

I recommend that you find an internship after your first year of Law School somewhere in DC with an international organization or with a congressmen/senator that serves on a foreign relations (or related) committee. If you are at NYU, you could find something at the UN.

Your summer after your second year of lawschool should be at a lawfirm or a legal services organization focusing on international law (Human Rights, Nation Building etc.)

Just do well your first year as that really sets the tone for your next 2 years.

Yes.
