What would I major in to be a civil rights lawyer?

Category: Law & Legal

SdaSda


I'm not 100% sure yet but this is one of my 3 options that I am interested in. Please don't tell me not to do this or anything either because i'm not just in it for the money. When I go to college I was wondering what I should major in to be a civil rights lawyer, i'm not that good at english type things though i'm more of a math/ science guy (the two other careers that I am thinking about are architecture and bioengineering). So what would be a good major to try?

As a college advisor, I would suggest some liberal arts ( history, as well as and especially philosophy), and then a Bachelor's in criminal justice law and legal concentrations, with some social sciences as well. Followed by a J.D (Juris Doctorate).

Law. And then specialize in civil rights.

History. Maybe your school has a pre-law program/curriculum for you to follow.
