[quote=Anonymous]It does seem a bit early to be thinking about a pre-law education but certainly can start a conversation about it.  As many have already said, there isn't a pre-law track. Your child is better off studying something they really enjoy, building a strong transcript and getting good grades.  Law schools don't want entire lecture halls filled with any one particular undergraduate major. LSATs will matter a lot.   If you really want to plan to go down this road now, you really need to think about the cost.  The SLACs mentioned (Amherst, Bowdoin, Swarthmore, etc.) are all very expensive and offer no merit aid.  Out of state or private law school tuition will be close to $100k per year.  For example, UVA out of state for tuition and expenses is estimated at $93k, Duke is $100k. You may want to save money by going in state for undergrad and save money for law school.  I didn't know that I wanted to go to law school until well into my undergrad. I opted for in-state law school so I didn't have to take on huge debt like so many of my classmates did.  It is even more expensive now.    [/quote]
