[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the best lawyers I know majored in disciplines that demand and cultivate analytic skill, like chemistry, math, and music. [/quote]

I'm a STEM major who went to law school and graduated at the top of my class.

I thought the law degree was easier than my undergrad degree.[/quote]

My neighbor was advising my kid that getting a STEM degree would be a great major for undergrad and then going to law school. The STEM degree would be beneficial for understanding cases dealing with tech/science businesses or patents. He was an appeals attorney for death row inmates before retiring.   [/quote]

For "cases"? Meh. That's what your experts are for. [/quote]

You don’t sound like a lawyer. I agree with the lawyer’s advice. It’s super useful to have knowledge in your area of the law. [/quote]

Well, I am. And I'm a tax lawyer who did not study accounting. [/quote]

Another lawyer here. That's fine. You don't have to have an accounting degree to work in tax law. You don't think it would be useful though?

I practice in an area in which I had no prior specialized knowledge or background. I do fine, but I have also put in a lot of time educating myself. I often think how useful it would be if I had a degree in x. [/quote]
