Accredited law schools ordinarily require students to hold a bachelor’s degree to be admitted, but not a specific set of undergraduate courses. Students should design an undergraduate program that enables them to develop their English reading, writing, and speaking skills; critical understanding of human values and institutions; and ability to reason creatively and logically.

At LCC, you should plan to enroll in courses that are related to legal reasoning, including history, English, political science, or any of the social sciences. Work closely with your advisor and your chosen transfer college.
