Why English is a Great Fit for Pre-Law Students
English helps you develop advanced reading comprehension and persuasive writing skills, both of which are essential for excelling in law school and performing well on the LSAT. As an English major, you read complex literature, process information efficiently, draw connections, and build arguments — all of which are key skills for law students.
The American Bar Association lists seven “Core Skill and Values” that students should acquire in preparation for the law. All of these skills and attributes are taught in the English Major:
- Analytic/Problem Solving Skills
- Critical Reading
- Writing Skills
- Oral Communication/Listening Abilities
- General Research Skills
- Task Organization/Management Skills
- Public Service and Promotion of Justice
