[quote=Anonymous]I assume there's some correlation between college major and type of law practiced. For instance, economics majors I suspect are more likely to be found doing corporate or tax. Lawyers who had econ majors earn more than others, while criminal justice majors earn less (I assume they're more likely to be solo practitioners and graduate from less prestigious law schools). See Table 7 here, for earnings for most common undergrad majors. https://walkerd.people.charleston.edu/WhyMajor/econreward.pdf I should add the qualifier that the major itself is correlation not causation (except for patent attorneys, who have STEM undergrads). The "clock" starts at zero in 1L, so to speak. [/quote]
