Your Answer:
My daughter is an attorney in the US, so that’s all I know about. Her undergrad and grad degrees are in journalism, PR, etc. I think a broad background is what best prepares you for law school. so I think you’re on the right track. The thing about law school that I’ve learned on this journey is that it’s all about one thing: study, study, study. The assignments consist of more work than you can possibly do, so you just have to pick and choose what you think’s the most important. However, if you give up your life for three years, and devote yourself to it totally, you can do it!! Don’t even think of having any kind of outside employment; you simply can’t do it; Good luck. I know I haven’t answered your question, but I just wanted to cheer you on.
