TOP 5 BEST PRE-LAW COURSES
If you plan to become a lawyer, it is important to prepare for it right away. Every decision you make matters because the opportunities you may or may not have will depend on what you choose today. One important thing to consider is the pre-law course or undergraduate studies you will take before you enter law school. Although there are some who only decided to enter law school later in life, there are others who, as a child, already dreamed of becoming a lawyer someday.
For the information of the person reading this, you can enter law school regardless of the course/major you took. However, there are some law schools that require you to have other requirements aside from graduating from any four-year course. For example, the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) requires their applicant to have at least twelve (12) units of English and at least three (3) units of a Rizal course at the tertiary level. Requirements will still depend on the law school you wish to enter.
Regardless of the additional requirements that other law schools may require, it is important to decide on what pre-law course/major you will take to help you make your law school life easier than others. Here are the top 5 best pre-law courses that may help you.
The features of the Legal Management course are its business and law subjects. BSLM students gain a broader understanding of the law, especially its business aspect in application to the corporate or business world.

These subjects can be obligations law, contract law, criminal law, commercial law, taxation, legal processes, legal research, and other law-related subjects depending on the curriculum that the schools or universities offer.
Legal management courses require students to think critically and analytically about legal and corporate problems. It also enhances the writing and communication skills of students especially when they are tasked to read and digest a case or to recite a case or a doctrine. The Socratic method of asking in law school is also applied in Legal Management. This is because, usually, Legal Management professors are either a lawyer or an accountant; sometimes both!
