A career in law is very promising as nearly all the industries and other professions are associated with law in some way or other. A law school graduate has ample career options to choose from. These include working as notaries, lawyers, paralegals, or even pursuing other authorized professions such as preparing legal documents, giving legal advice, or negotiating on behalf of clients. These programs involve thorough and advanced training. These formal trainings and programs allow you to trick with justice system more freely and also to receive higher amount of compensation.
There are various degrees and specialization programs in law, such as:
Forensic science: It is a multidisciplinary science that helps to give unbiased scientific evidence required during court proceedings. The course content of the degree program includes chemistry, physics, geology, social science, psychology, and biology etc. It also helps you to learn the several different methods to identify the precincts of a crime scene. You can also learn the various rules of searching the crime scene for obtaining certain specific types of evidence, like fingerprints and other forensic identifiable material.
Homeland Security: This particular law degree programs enable you to be aware of the possible risks as well as the various security requirements of both small and large communities and countries. The United States government has even upgraded their security precautions and also the Department of Homeland Security to safeguard their people against both internal and external threats. There are plenty job opportunities in the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, US Secret Service, US Coast Guard, and also in Customers and Border Protection.
Criminal Justice: This degree program helps the students to prepare for the entry-level service as well as for advancement in the departments of law enforcement, probation, corrections, immigration, homeland security, security services, and forensics etc. It provides a detailed explanation of the criminal justice system functioning in the United States and also gives a basic knowledge of the behavioral and social sciences. Career opportunities incorporate law office assistant, forensic scientist, social work assistant, parole officer, corrections official, and probation officer.

For pursuing a Juris Doctor Degree program you need to have a Bachelor’s Degree in law along with satisfying score in GPA and LSAT tests.

Help answer the question about medical degree
Do you need a Medical degree to become a Psychologist?I am very interested in possibly pursuing a career as a Psychologist in my post-secondary education, but I don't know if my high school courses meet the requirements to be accepted into a University Medical Program. Would I need a degree in Medicine (or something of the sort) or just in Psychology?
Thanks <3

exposure is painful, longwinded and mostly dropped by phobics due to the painfull approach. Also this apprach has put off sooo many people from getting help!

U try University of Toronto? or Queens?
I can't think of any law schools with formal joint degrees with Hindi, but I do know that many schools allow for 'ad hoc' joint degree programs, which applicants may arrange on their own.
This would essentially require that you apply to both programs, speak to whomever handles "concurrent enrollments" or "ad hoc dual degree programs" to coordinate your studies.
I've included Harvard as an example, but this should apply to any law school that is part of a larger institution that offers a degree in Hindi or Turkish. You might not be able to expedite your degrees as you can in certain JD/MBA programs, since it would be more independent, but it's still possible. Good luck!
You MUST have an undergraduate degree in hard science or a minimum of coursework in order to practice patent law.
Not in the US. Law is a grad school thing here. You can do something like criminal justice. It's law related, but nothing to do with being a lawyer.
I don't know where Suzi got her information — but most universities that have both MBA programs and Law programs have a combined JD/MBA program.
I got my MBA at Duke and knew some people in the combined program. It was a four year program. Typically, it worked this way – The first year, the student would take all the first year MBA classes. The second year, the student would take the first year Law classes. Years three and four would be a mixture of MBA and Law classes — with about 2/3 from the law school and 1/3 from the business school. A number of classes are jointly listed and both degree programs allow a few classes outside of the school to count towards the degree. This means that the course load is similar to that of other law or business students.
there is no pre-law degree. you major in whatever you want, take the LSAT's and apply to law school.
LSAT: At Columbia, you'll want to get in the mid-to-high 170s. The median score among those admitted is 172, but to maximize your chances, try to go a little higher. If you're graduating in May 2010, you will want to take the LSAT as soon as possible. June of this year would have been ideal, but I don't know if you have signed up for the exam yet. You won't want to go into it cold…study, study, study. Take it no later than October 2009 unless you are planning to take a year off between undergrad and law school. Don't forget that you will also need letters of recommendation.
You will not have to take the GRE in order to gain admittance into the journalism program. Requirements for the journalism program that is offered with the dual law degree can be found in my 2nd source.
Here is what Columbia Law School's website says about how to apply for a joint degree:
"Applications for admission to the Law School and the other chosen school must be filed separately. At the application stage, there is no communication whatsoever between the two schools; that is, each school’s decision to admit or not to admit is based solely on that school’s selection criteria. If one school admits, it does not automatically follow that the other school will admit the applicant. Applicants may apply simultaneously to both schools; if admitted to both, a deferment must be requested at one of the two schools. Keep in mind that some of the schools listed above do not accept deferments; you should only apply to them if you are serious about attending in the semester for which you sought admission. You also may decide to apply initially only to the Law School, and then apply to the other school at a later date; this process may be reversed as well."
According to the joint degree website (source 4), it will only take you 7 semesters, or 3.5 years, to complete the program. The program will allow 10 of your journalism credits to also count toward your J.D.
Because it requires more credits to graduate, a joint degree will cost slightly more – add in an extra semester to your cost total. Considering the costs of attending Columbia, I would say that this would add up to "a lot more money," but maybe you'll get some kind of scholarship. Even though half the student body at Columbia's law school receives scholarships, students are still left with an average of $100k in debt upon graduation (see source 1).
By the way, I highly recommend Top-Law-Schools.com's forums. They have a lot of people who are very experienced with applying to, attending, and graduating from law school.

If you have an undergraduate degree (any kind), then a graduate law programme would be the best route for you.
Law schools don't really have a specific undergraduate major requirement. They just want to see that you've studied something that will develop / strengthen analytical skills. They want to see classes with heavy reading and writing as well. A candidate's academic potential is important.
Things that would make a candidate stand out, from what I've read in various law school view books, include outstanding community service / volunteering, extracurriculars that show leadership. Also, some undergraduate majors can stand out more than others. Since they get alot of political science majors, someone with an undergraduate degree in physical / life sciences or engineering (for example) would stand out. Biology majors can make use of that degree by going to law school and a career in environmental law.
I think your major will stand out too. They'll see something really in demand these days, something that will help society fight the terror threats. You have security studies that cover a local and national level. Also, learning information security would definitely sharpen the analytical skills, because of scrutinizing systems to look for breaches or areas where an information system is most vulnerable.
Proficiency in a foreign language will be useful, as well as a diverse group of humanities anywhere in your undergraduate education.
Personality traits such as integrity and love of learning are great for law school as well.
Good luck with everything!
