Go to a law school forum and use the search function. Youll get crappy answers here..

Law schools only care about two things... your gpa and your last. For now keep your GPA high as possible. As for extra curricular... pick 1 or 2 things your passionate about and do well in them.. really well.. dont do 5 clubs at a mediocre level..

I have a question about law school after undergrad. I appreciate any advice!

I have recently accepted my offer to Ryerson's Bachelor of Journalism program. I was wondering if I would be able to pursue a career in environmental law after completing this undergraduate degree? I have already taken a look at the electives that are available during this four year program, and I know that environment-related courses are available. However, will these courses and this degree make me eligible for a post-graduate degree in environmenal law? Will my knowledge be sufficient enough? If not, what types of law can I pursue with a Journalism degree? Please let me know soon! I need as much advice as I can get. Thanks so much!

Yes you can go into law school with your journalism degree. You could do so without even taking any of the environment-related courses. I don't think law school has any required courses, just the LSAT, a good GPA, and some other application related stuff.

Okay, thanks so much! I read on Osgoode's Environmental Law page that a BES would can lead you to environmental law, but I guess that is simply a recommendation and not a requirement. Thanks again!
