Question from an aspiring future lawyer?

[countercultured]

I am incredibly interested in studying government and law and becoming an attorney. At this time, I am looking at many different colleges in the south including Alabama, Georgia and regions in the United States. One college I am really looking into is Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. However, this university does not have pre-law and only has political science and government. My question is: To become a lawyer and get into a good law school, is Auburn a good choice? Also, do I need to major in pre-law or is political science good too? What is the difference in those anyway, and for an aspiring lawyer, which major is best?

If you do not think that Auburn is a good university for a future lawyer, what southern colleges are that are anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 for tuition?

Note: I am not looking at law schools right now, I am looking for a college or university where I can study law and government.

thanks! Any answers are helpful and appreciated.

You do not need to be pre-law to get into a good law school.

Let me repeat that - you do not need to be pre-law.

I am 100% serious here - take the easiest major you can find. Law schools will only look at two things: your GPA and your LSAT score. If you are sure you want to be a lawyer, it doesn't matter what your major is, just get a 4.0.

I was a biochemistry major in college and I came out with a 3.0. My buddy attended three different colleges and was a music major and he graduated with close to a 4.0. We both did the same on the LSAT. The three years he was finishing up his degree I was working at a prestegious hospital. Guess who got into the better law school?

Aside from that, it is much better to go into law school a blank slate then to have preconceived notions about subjects like civil procedure, torts and contracts.
