Hastings and Hastings Shares Tips For Aspiring Law Students

    PHOENIX, AZ, August 31, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fortunately, David Hastings, founder of Hastings and Hastings, the discount accident lawyers of Arizona, offers valuable advice.

"The best advice for aspiring attorneys is to enjoy their undergraduate experience. The second best advice is to find a subject they are passionate about, master it, and keep your grades up," said David Hastings, founding partner of Hastings and Hastings.

The advice above is apt. We would also add this: don't major in pre-law. Not only is this major unemployable, it might not properly prepare you for law school like you hope, and pre-law majors statistically score the lowest on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) which is the most important factor in the admissions process.

Many law students gravitate towards the humanities. Indeed, Philosophy majors, English majors, Classics majors (Latin and Greek) are amongst the highest performers on the LSAT. But those individuals inclined to the sciences should not be deterred by the status quo. Science majors actually can be granted a GPA boost by admissions counsels, and they can sit for the patent bar which can also lead to a lucrative law practice.

While in College, obviously the most important part is enjoying the experience, given that most people only go to college once. Secondly though, you want to develop habits and skills that will help you succeed as an attorney. Attention to detail, social engineering, dependability, and good character will all help on the quest. Keep your grades up but know a poor GPA can be offset by a high LSAT score.

And that leads to the last recommendation for aspiring attorneys, the LSAT. This test is extremely difficult. It tests your aptitude for logical reasoning, analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension. Essentially, it is an SAT on steroids. It requires test takers to sift through an immense amount of information and answer questions on the test accurately. To learn more visit this website. The secret to the LSAT is vigilance. The test is hard but can be learned and one can easily improve their score.
