text: i am going to college. what can i do to decide if law would be a good choice? i did not have debate or anything like that in high school and my college will not have a pre-law major, just a concentration. would i be going into law school unprepared or do most people go in fresh and are taught everything in law school? law school will teach you the law.  most law school students majored in something not directly related to law.  psychology and journalism are common examples.  i am beginning law school this fall, and i have a broadcast news degree.  the skills you will need to score well on the lsat and succeed in law school include excellent command of the english language, the ability to discern important information from irrelevant information, solid logical reasoning skills, and the ability to understand an issue from multiple points of view.  if you feel confident in your ability to master these skills, i think you'll do just fine in law school.
