>> Doing something in a liberal arts background whether it's philosophy,
politics would be helpful, but there's really nothing
that prepares you for law school you know.
So I always tell people it's going to be a different experience than your undergrad,
but in your undergrad the thing that's going to serve you well is being well rounded,
having some knowledge about different areas, paying attention being a careful reader,
being focused on details, and I mean you might do that as a biology major.
You might do that as an English major, so there's nothing like I said
that really is a law school substitute, or lawyer substitute, but learning those skills
and just developing good habits, good study habits, good reading habits
that will serve you the best in law school.
I think being able to listen to people and understand what their goals are,
maybe what their fears are, being able to gain their respect and their trust
and build a relationship, two three four years out people kind of don't care where you went
to law school so much as what you've done since, or how your practice is built,
or how you handle different situations.
So it's not the end all be all if you went to one school and you wanted to go to another.
The name of the game is trust and if you can gain someone's trust no matter what field you're
in law or otherwise, that's very valuable, and so I always recommend you know just work again.
Working on those sort of soft skills to accomplish that.
