Skills you will need

Although there is no recommended “prelaw” undergraduate major, prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically—skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the law. Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreign languages, public speaking, government, philosophy, history, economics, mathematics, and computer science, among others, are useful. Students interested in a particular aspect of law may find related courses helpful. For example, prospective patent lawyers need a strong background in engineering or science, and future tax lawyers must have extensive knowledge of accounting.

    Surprised about maths being useful. I suppose it's down to the logic angle of it.

    I have to say, one of the areas I was interested in as an undergrad was space law, it is historically poorly defined. Being an Astronomy major with an International Relations minor, one day, I wouldn't mind breaking into the field.
