What are specific college classes like for someone pursuing law or wanting to become a lawyer?

I am currently in the Young Congressional Leaders Program where I am learning about government and some aspects of law. I also took Saturday classes at UCI specifically focusing on what lawyers do. Throughout these programs, I still haven't gotten a clear image or idea about what courses to take in college or what they might be about. #Fall24

Hey, In college, if you're pursuing law, you'll start with foundational courses like Introduction to Law, Political Science, and Ethics, which teach you about the legal system and how laws are made. You’ll also take Legal Writing and Research courses to learn how to draft legal documents and research cases. As you progress, you’ll dive into more specific subjects like Criminal Law, Contracts, and Constitutional Law. Many law students also study History and Philosophy to understand the bigger picture behind laws. Depending on your interests, courses in Public Policy or Economics might be helpful too.
