What subjects do I need to take in 12, if I want to become Lawyer?

Dear Student, The best way for a 12th student to prepare to become a lawyer is by taking all of the standard college-prep classes: English, foreign language, math, Science, and social studies. Don't neglect the maths and science. English is important because you need to be able to write expository prose concisely and accurately. You also need to be able to read complicated statutes and court decisions. Foreign language is mostly important because learning a foreign language will make you more attractive to top colleges. Its also a good discipline for developing your intellect. Maths is necessary because the bottom line to almost everything lawyers do regardless of whether its litigation or a corporate transaction is a dollar figure. You have to be able to read a balance sheet. You have to be able to understand how to calculate the present value of a future income stream. You have to have a basic understanding of inferential statistics. Taking math classes is doubly important if you plan to go into corporate law. Science is important because it will teach you the mental rigor that you need to have in order to become a lawyer. Learning how to think and reason is vital. Taking Science classes is doubly important if you plan to go into patent law. There are multiple universities from where you can do Law Courses, like IILM University Gurugram offers with Moot Court Internship, Seminar, Workshops, Experiential Learning along with Inter-Disciplinary Curriculum.

Social studies is important because it will give you the background framework you require in order to understand the legal system.
