LegalJob recently spoke to upcoming 2Ls and 3Ls about the importance of "picking a major" in law school even though not required to graduate. Posted here is some of that advice along with concerns raised by the students and addressed. The next post on this subject will discuss how to use the major to secure employment. The reason it is important to pick a major is that employers (who are looking to mitigate their risk that you won't work out) generally prefer to hire someone who has shown strong interest and commitment to a particular practice area.
"Pick a major" by demonstrating some commitment to the practice area.
How do you pick?
Don't be afraid to commit for fear of missing out on other areas.
