Some schools equate that with failure. Departments often encourage students to write an honors thesis in the major during the senior year. Talk with the academic adviser in your major to learn more about this. Take honors sections of courses if you qualify. Following is a list of suggested courses for Pre-Law students to help to build the skills noted above.
Law school is very challenging.
Because lawyers do a large amount of research, Pre-Law students should take courses that are strong in reading, writing, and research components. Courses in philosophy and math will help to build a student's logical and analytical reasoning skills. Courses in oral communication are important because law schools may utilize the Socratic method in the classroom, a system in which the instructor calls on students to discuss a case. This method can be very intimidating to students who are not used to either speaking up in class or to having their answers challenged. Courses in foreign language can help to develop language and speaking skills as well as to provide opportunities for study abroad, an experience that helps to build a student's sense of culture and social organization.
