Would majoring in Criminal Justice be smart or helpful if I want to go to law school to be a criminal lawyer?

I know that diverse majors are helpful for law school, but I think that a criminal justice might give a slight head start for me. If I want to be a criminal defense attorney, is a criminal justice major a smart choice?

Not really. It won’t help you that much. Probably best to get a Business degree. This will definitely help you manage your law business when you pass the bar exam.
Major in whatever interests you. Focus more on developing basic skills, like writing, oral communication, analytical skills. There are courses that can help in these areas, like creative writing, social sciences, philosophy, drama, speech, etc.
Not really. Majors don’t matter and tons of people do criminal justice then try for law school. It doesn’t set you apart at all. Major in whatever you want to and whatever you can do well in since GPA matters, and study to get a great LSAT score since that’s what matters most.
