[QUOTE="hb712, post: 14718099, member: 42038"] Law is a very difficult field right now. You will likely leave law school with a significant amount of student loan debt, entering a job market that does not pay like it used to. You need to have a strong undergraduate GPA, as calculated by LSAC, and a strong LSAT to get into a Tier 1 school. You will not be able to work during your first year, unless you go to a part-time program (Georgetown has the best). If you go to law school, you will spend the vast majority of your time learning everything other than business law. Your first year, and part of the second, will be comprised of: torts, criminal law, property, contracts, civil procedure, criminal procedure, constitutional law, legal research, and legal writing. Beyond that, you will write. Regardless of what you do in law, lawyers write. If you don't like to write or are a weak writer, I would caution you against pursuing law without seriously considering that fact. I do think that accounting and law go together very well. A few of my classmates had accounting backgrounds and did very well. A That's really just some quick and dirty info. I would be happy to answer any more specific questions you have, too. If you think you may be interested in law, I would strongly suggest visiting your local law school. You're in the middle of an admissions cycle right now, so you've got plenty of time to consider the decision. [/QUOTE]
