#64: A Guide to Majoring in Pre-Law

Are you or someone you know considering going to law school (and majoring in pre-law to prepare)? In this episode, I continue my sporadic series on various college majors students may choose. To discuss the field of Law, I’ve invited Mike Schutt, J.D., who has wide experience and vast knowledge in this field.

In this podcast we discuss:

• Some of the career options for those who study Law
• Undergraduate majors to prepare for law school
• Where he discovered some of the connections between the Christian worldview and law, and how that shaped him
• What helped him grow in his faith during law school
• Some challenges he faced as a believer in law school
• Things you must understand to pick the right law school and flourish there
• Some ways Christians in law can have a redemptive influence for Christ
• The importance of joining the Christian Legal Society for the journey through law school
• The proper role of the Lord in the discernment process when considering law school
