It's probably not the best choice, but it's OK. It'll give you a liberal arts degree, and that's a decent degree for law school. However: Why PR, if you're planning on becoming a lawyer? I have a background in journalism (and am a member of the Public Relations Society of America), and while journalism and PR are perfectly OK, there's a wide gap between those disciplines and law.
If you have the opportunity, take some classes that touch on law. (In journalism school, I took a couple that involved journalism and the law.) That'll at least expose you to some educational experience in the area, and may help a bit on your applications to law school.
Hope that helps.
There is no particular undergrad degree required as a prereq for law school. I majored in legal studies and minored in sociology because I thought that might put me at a bit of an advantage.
Any degree that requires a lot of reading/writing/researching is the best. That i what law is all about.
Any major is fine, as long as you finish college with a very good GPA and good writing skills. I'm more concerned about why you want to be a lawyer -- you should have a good handle on that before you shell out the money for law school, and you'll eventually need to chart a career path more specific than "dealing with all kinds of disputes."
Yes, PR is a fine undergrad program for law school. True, it won't be as "good" as being in a formal pre-law program, but there are plenty that studied other things. And PR happens to an area that would be appropriate.
Pretty much any degree will work for law school, as long as you have excellent grades and score well on the LSAT. In time you may discover that you will need to specialize in what type of law you practice.
Environmental law will be big in a few years.
maybe you could study a bit of env science.
oil companies and large manufacturers will be needing people like this.
ooo a corporate lawyer oooo
