what kind of math classes do lawyers need to take?
92215
I would assume a general business math class, but generally whatever school they get their pre-law degree requires to fulfill their general education requirements.

Actually, you don't have to even have a degree to be a lawyer. You just have to pass the bar exam. Good luck doing that without goint to law school. To go to law school, you need a bachelors degree usually. Abraham lincoln was a lawyer, yet he didn't even graduate high school. Of course that was 150+ years ago.

you would have to contact a local university and find out what classes from your previous law degree are still valid here and what others you would have to take.i'm guessing you might have to retake the basic classes such as government,english and history.and then of course take the bar exam to be able to practice law here.best option would be to discuss that with a local college counselor.best of luck to you.

Why do you need SOURCES?? I'm a college student who is planning on attending law school in a year. As a lawyer, you choose which cases and clients you wish to represent, and what type of law you want to go into. There are also so many types of law, not every lawyer is a defense lawyer for criminals! There are good lawyers out there - "Christian" or not!

Political science, philosophy, history and English have been traditional "pre-law" majors, but these days law school admissions are much more competitive, so more and more students seeking law school admission are seeking to distinguish themselves by majoring (and excelling) in other disciplines.   \n\nArea studies are some great law-school preparation choices (South Asian studies, East Asian studies, Eastern-European studies, American studies, etc.), as are religious studies, anthropology, sociology, and interdisciplinary majors of various sorts. This is because many students see themselves in law firms with international scope, or in political or administrative positions after law school.  Becoming fluent in a language other than English, like Chinese, Russian, or Arabic is also a great way to distinguish oneself, and to prepare for the ability to function well in an increasingly multicultural business environment.\n\nLately, there's also been a surge in law school aspirants majoring in the sciences, like chemistry, engineering, and environmental sciences.  Folks who do this often have an eye toward eventually practicing patent law, environmental law, or corporate law with medical or scientific foci.\n\nThe best advice I can give you is this:\nFind a major you're passionate about.  That's the way to excel. If you do this, you'll gain critical thinking skills, polish your writing skills, and acquire expertise in an area of study.  THOSE are the qualifications all law schools look for.\n\nBest wishes!

you need to have a bachelors...doesn't matter in what.  I found that political science as a major was helpful.  Criminal justice also would be very helpful.  There is no specific program to follow...you can have a bachelors in gym, they don't really care....unless you are applying to a super competitive school like Harvard or something.  Have a good GPA, then apply and get accepted to law school.  Then it will be 2-3 years and you will have a juris doctor. Then you have to pass the bar, and you can practice law.

Most of today's accounting is theoretical and legal. Yes, you will have to have a basic understanding of mathematics and in college you will likely have to complete two semester of undergraduate business calculus. But in your day-to-day work you will utilize basic math and algebra as another user stated. Where the average accountants are separated from the good ones are how they interpret the results of their math and how they apply it to the laws and standards set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), the US Government, just to name a few. This is the part of your accounting curriculum where you will need to focus the bulk of your energies and in most universities where the schools try to weed people out. So don't ever count yourself out and don't ever discount study groups and tutoring. Chase your dreams.

I am a law student, and I recall doing a lot of research on different law schools. As the other users have already stated, there are no ABA law schools that have an on-line course of study. The only alternative some law schools offer is a part-time evening program. Remember that law schools stress and emphasize the Socratic method of teaching, so classroom time is essential. :o)

I've just about got my math degree, and I'm trying to figure that out! I'll let you know in a couple of months!\n\nMy understanding is that math education gives good prep for a wide variety of careers--not just finance, but you could do computational/statistical work for physicists or biologists (bioinformatics is supposed to be a white-hot field nowadays). You'd also have a leg up if you wanted to become some kind of scientist or engineer. If you tend toward algorithmic thinking, you could become a computer scientist or a straight-up programmer--if you're good at geometry and linear algebra, you might be able to do graphics programming, e.g. for games or movies. You could get into cryptography and cryptanalysis, or more generally you could study techniques in data compression or transmission. You could go on to specialize in operations research, a discipline upon which present-day industry relies quite heavily. It really goes on and on, but I think the real trick is choosing. I've also heard from a couple of people that law schools will consider prospects with math backgrounds, because of the kind of thinking that goes into writing proofs, if you're good at those.

You will need to take a college level math course. It only has to be basic. In conjunction with your BS in CJ, I wholeheartedly recommend that you minor in either Psychology or Social Work. And if you plan to enter a career in Federal Law Enforcement, please be advised that many agents have specialized degrees in accounting, law, bio sciences, political science, psychology and human behavior. I would also encourage you to learn a foreign language to broaden your marketability.  Good luck.

I am a math major so I have taken every math class. Start with Elementary Statristics...it is not that bad mostly pie and bar graphs for the first half of the semester.

Hi! I am a high school math teacher, so I can answer some of your question, but not all.  Why? It depends on the state that you live in.  ALL states require a bachelors degree in math education.  This is four years of math classes, general ed classes, and teacher preparation classes.  The math classes you take would be a full calculus sequence (3 or 4 calc classes), linear and abstract algebra, geometry, analysis, and a mix of some others such as math history or number theory (again, depending on the college you go to). Your final semester would be student teaching, where you pay your college tuition, and then you are placed in a junior high or high school classroom to practice teaching. Some states (NY for example) require a masters degree, which is two more years of college.  But you can do that after you have started teaching. I live in Utah, and we only need the four year degree.  Hope this helps!

To my knowledge all accredited law schools in the US require a four year college degree, but that could be a B.S., it doesn't have to be a BA.

just take the course, business math and whatever foundation of math  it requires is easy stuff, stats and algebra (how can you be a businness person anyways if you cant do simple aritmatic and math). I hate math and i had to take 2 years of calculus for my major, that was a biatch. Anything that aint calc is easy.

The above answer is 100% incorrect. The LSAT does not test knowledge of law, mathematics, or grammar. Here are some suggestions from an LSAT teacher:\n\nStart by taking a realistic diagnostic test. If you can, attend a free practice test administered at your local Kaplan center - you will take a previously released LSAT in an unfamiliar environment under strict proctoring. Kaplan will also provide you not just a numerical score, but a breakdown of question types and a measure of your performance on each. \nArmed with the knowedge of your strengths and weaknesses, spend a month or two learning how to perform better on all the question types. Study answers and explanations to see what you've done right, so you can repeat it, and what you shold have done differently, so you can avoid it. Every 2-3 weeks (depending on your timeline), take another practice test to see how you're coming along in your knowledge. Study answers and explanations to those tests to analyze and improve your pacing and stress management.\nAbove all, consider investing in a test preparation program that will offer you techniquest on question/section/time management, help with the discipline of studying by spelling out a study schedule, and provide you with most realistic tests and questions.\n\nbest of luck!
