Hello dean! I am currently a nursing student planning on shifting this AY due to financial and personal issues, there are schools offering free tuition fees and I really want to choose the best pre-law major that would aid me best in law school, and if I ever am not able to go to law school it may be my career as well. The two programs I deeply am troubled about taking is Communications and History. For starters, I really am passionate about history or anthropology as this has been my childhood dream and I think it would be something worthwhile of learning, although I have been told that my career opportunities if I do not enter law school or engage in higher degrees, would be limited. Next is Communication or Speech Comm, I am really great at public speaking. I have won debates and other categories of public speaking in my high school that has aided me in gaining confidence and knowledge when speaking in front of a crowd. I love public speaking because I know this is one thing that I am good at especially that I know that I am able to hone my confidence in a way that I could project my talent more. I both love these programs and I think I could grow either way. Then again I have this fear that since I am shifting I don't know if I should go for which as I am afraid to make the same mistake as I did in my previous program. I am greatly thankful to have seen your channel as it further inspired me to pursue law
Hi Valerie. You are at a crossroads now in selecting a college course. It is wise to think also of your future outside of law school. It is also encouraging that you want to be a lawyer. My best thoughts on the matter is to take the course where you will enjoy learning. Having a memorable and happy college experience will help you adjust to the rigors of law school. At this point, I would recommend to take Communication. If you don't go to law school, a communications degree will get you job in Human Resources, advertising and social media management. I wish you the best of luck!
@@TheDeanLawChannel Thank you so much dean for your insightful and encouraging response! ❤️ Praying to get accepted to my next university 😭 May your channel grow and reach more future aspiring and soon to be warriors of justice. ☺️ Stay safe po and God bless ☺️
Meanwhile, everyone’s asking for the best Pre-Law Course in this comment section. Let me just appreciate Dean for having such good communication or speaking skills, if you were my prof I could listen to you all day with the way you explain things. More power, Dean! ❤️
There's really no degree recommended for law school. But you are right Dean, courses that will land you on a job (in case of quitting or not passing the Bar exam) is a practical recommendation for entry to law school (for plan B purposes hehe) God bless!
I graduated BSIT specialized in Multimedia 7 yrs ago, before never ko pong naisip or even have the slightest desire to become a lawyer. Now, I'm having some "change of heart" and suddenly got interest in law school, but I was also hesitant because of my college degree, some say its not fit for law school daw kasi Accountancy and Polsci were the "ideal" courses, I got discouraged somehow but I really have this deep desire to become an IP/IT lawyer someday po. But today, with your videos po it helps me rethink and reconsider in taking law school po. Thank you for the enlightenment po Dean and God Bless you more po.
You are most welcome. At my school, the University of Caloocan City College of Law, I will accept any college course. What I look for are students who want to pursue their ambition or dream to be a lawyer.
Thank you, Dean! I'm currently talking Bachelor of Education Major in English and I thought it isn't aligned with my dream to become a lawyer. I was already losing hope. Thank you very much.
Hello Dean! I plan to take a double course. One in Marketing and one in Philosophy. It's going to be tough and I know. I'm going to do my best after college and at the same learn and have fun. I'm still a Grade 10 student, dreaming big at the same time, learning about myself, and changing as time passes on. I know my flaws and I am willing to change them (even just a small bit of it can help me). All in all, thank you for your inspiring video about what college major would help for law school. I plan to become a lawyer someday and I'm really glad that I was recommended to watch this by my friend. It is really helpful. ^^
Hi dean! I am binge watching your videos! I am a graduating economics student and I’ve been dreaming on becoming a lawyer. I am determined to become an economist lawyer 7 years from now, thanks for this video!
Months from now, I will graduate in senior high and I am looking forward to take AB English in college. So I was kinda nervous when you have already mentioned accountancy, business management, philosophy, political science and all that but not literature. I literally had a second thought that it was a bad choice for my pre-law course. Lol. Btw, thank you for the tips! I would really love to hear something like this from a dean!
For me personally, I would welcome the AB English degree. It will give you the best critical analytical thinking. All lawyers need that and only develop it in law school.
I was a BS Computer Science student during my first semester, and I bravely took the risk in shifting to AB English Literature Study for my second semester SY 2020-2021 because it feels like I enter the wrong room not suit for my interest. I choose AB Eng in hopes that it will help me in my english both speaking and writing that soon I can use if ever I want to proceed Law School. So I'm very thankful I found your channel Mr. Dean.
Sabi na eh English related Major bet ni Dean Atty HAHAHAHAHAH Okay may confidence na ako sa degree ko pag papasok ako law school. Thank you Dean Attorney for the info shared!
I FEEL RELIEVE DEAN. I WANTED TO ENTER LAW SCHOOL IN THE FUTURE AND I AM EAGER TO TAKE CRIMINOLOGY AS MY PRE LAW COURSE IN SOME REASONS HOWEVER, CRIM IS NOT USUALLY THE CHOICE OF MAJORITY AS A PRE LAW COURSE AND I AM SO HAPPY THE MOMENT YOU SAID THAT CRIM IS ALSO A GOOD PRE LAW COURSE THANKS DEAN, THIS IS VERY HELPFUL AND ENCOURAGING.
Im a graduate of Criminology and currently reviewing for CLE this upcoming Dec. Hopefully after passing the board, i would enter college of law and become a prosecutor in the near future.
Hello Dean, I am now at first year college, taking a Political Science major in Public policy and governance.... And planning to have a masters degree after college, and planning to enroll in Law school someday.... Thank you for the information about taking Law..... If you were my professor it would be great.... If ever... More power Dean...❤️❤️❤️
Dean, my friend's son is a graduate of specialist program in political science with double major in philosopy and mathematics in one of the top universities in the world. He aced the LSAT at 97 percentile and recieved an offer from yale, harvard and standford. He is planning to take the philippine bar after he finished his law school.
@@TheDeanLawChannel He is also a pinoy but migrated to Canada when he was 7 years old. I think the supreme court has allowed foreign law graduate pinoys to take the bar starting this year, 2023 but applicants must provide certain certifications to the supreme court.
Good day Sir, I am currently taking BS Finance. I have profs who are Atty. that teaches us about Business law(ObliCon),Monetary policy(more on AMLA,AMLC, RA8791 etc) and taxation. I find it really interesting to study about these subjs and it excites me everytime there are recitations.
I am having second thougths on going to med (its too expensive and I have a business to manage) and I stumble upon this. This might be a sign. Thank you Dean for your insights!
Hello, Dean! I hope you notice this. I am currently a Grade 12 ABM student who's stuck with choices AB Legal Management, AB English Language Studies, and AB Sociology for my pre-law course (I didn't include BSA because I really do not enjoy the subject). I personally like AB Sociology the most but my personality calls for LegMa because it already covers many business law topics and I want to have a foretaste of law school. On the other hand, the reason why AB ELS occupies my least preferred choice is because I believe that one's English skills needed in law school can be honed in any pre-law. Both AB ELS & AB SCL are included on account of my 2nd dream, which is to be a professor. Moreover, I already put AB Legal Management as my main program choice but I can still change it. If I choose this course, I am afraid I'd find it hard to land a job after college. What are the pros and cons of LegMa? Is this a good pre-law?
So the specific question is on legal management... The pros: 1. You will definitely have prior knowledge (at least for freshman year) on the laws that is taken up in law school 2. If the law subjects are taught by lawyers, they might teach the way they do in law school, so you will have a taste in that. 3. Law schools won't question your degree and wonder why you went to law school. Cons: 1. The job market is indeed thin if you don't go to law school. 2. Law professors might have higher expectations on you to perform better in class. Hope this helps.
Hello Dean! I am a graduating STEM student who is currently going through the rigorous phase of college applications. I would like to ask if Bachelor of Public Administration is an ideal pre-law degree for someone who is eyeing for government work after law school. I am aware that BA Political Science is the more preferred degree for such field, however, most of the universities I have applied to do not offer this degree and I have to resort to the closest possible degree which is B Public Administration (of which I am unsure whether it will help or not). I'm glad to have found your channel, your content is amazing and informative, keep it up!
Hi, dean! Thanks for sharing with us your knowledge and wisdom regarding law school. Hopefully, through God's help and mercy, I am going to try it. Btw... I am a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English graduate po and I am currently working in the public school. Thanks po ^_^
That's great to hear. I always admire police officers to want to be a lawyer. I have several students who are police officers over the course of my teaching and they are very hard working. I wish the best for you.
Hello po dean! 😊 Plan ko po sana na AB Philosophy po kunin as pre-law course since pakiramdam ko po interesting at maeenjoy ko po siya. Kaso iniisip ko po baka hindi po siya magandang fallback. 🥺
Hello dean! Thank you so much for this video, it was a huge help for me to sort out my thoughts on what to take for my college degree. Would taking a BsEd in Biology or even Bs Biology become a hassle as a pre-law course? I want to take this because it's one of the courses that is under the DOST scholarship. Thank you again!
Hi dean! I am a CPA, graduate of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. Is it really a good course for aspiring lawyers? Can I do it? Since we are trained to analyze rather than memorize. I think I will have a hard time memorizing provisions :( Anyway, nice video ❤️
We have several CPAs studying the Univ. of Caloocan City, College of Law. I see that CPA's adjust quickly to the rigors of law school. I have a video on memorization techniques, maybe that can help - bit.ly/3nzGTMM
Took AB legal Management in UST as my pre law course. Well, quite advantage in the first 2 weeks of law school but after that, all are in equal foot. But it was quite a good foundation esp knowing how competitive my profs and classmates in UST.
Well, because of your legal management course, you have a better understanding of law, its effects and its intent. I am sure that will carry on throughout your law school. And ObliCon is still next sem.
Hello Dean! Is English Language Studies also a good course aside from English Literature Studies? I'm quite confused with their distinction and what do you think are the pros and cons of these two courses? Thank you!
Hello po dean! I’m contemplating whether to take engineering or accountancy as my pre law. Can you please share some pros and cons of those 2 courses when I plan to pursue Law school later on. Thank you dean! very much appreciated your vids po.
Ok, here we go: Engineering: Pro - you can practice patent law. Very lucrative payouts. US law firms pay about $180K annually as a starting salary! Cons - Too rigid in formula and concepts. Law is about interpreting words and not too much on data unless you are in patent law 😎 Accounting: Pro - You can practice tax law. Very few lawyers go into tax law which means you have little competition to look for jobs or clients Cons - Tax, no one likes tax.
Hi dean , my pre-law course is Criminology but I'm a bit interested of corporate Law. Is it irrelevant of my pre-law course that choose to practice someday? I'm your number 1 viewer of your videos dean, hope you enlighten me.
Hello Bushwark! I appreciate your comments. The pre-law course is not irrelevant. It will help you in your selected practice. But if you take criminology, you can do to corporate law
Thank you for sharing these inspiring ideas, Dean Rod. I'm currently a college instructor teaching English literature and oral communication. I've finally decided to enter law school and I would appreciate it so much if you can give me some law practice which are best suited for my undergraduate degree. I finished secondary education specializing in English. Thank you Dean. I'm already one of your subscriber.
You have an excellent undergraduate degree. For that, you can practice Constitutional law or even international law. Language is always subject to interpretation and construction. Your degree will definitely give you an advantage.
hello dean,im a current grade11 HUMMS student,1 year ahead to college and im still planning and thinking if what kind of course will i pursue in college,wether PolSci or AB ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDIES but my teachers advice me to take AB SECONDARY ENGLISH IN EDUCATION because of what they've seen on me in argumentative and reports,on those 3 options,what should i take as my pre-law course dean,thank you in advance sir.
Hi, Dean! I am an upcoming STEM student. I want to ask if what do you recommend for me to take as a pre-law course that is somehow related to STEM and that will help me in developing my skills? I'm just afraid that if I take unrelated course then it might be hard for me to adjust. Thank you!
That's a good question. The pros is that you will be able to argue using skills you learned in college. History majors I believe can relate to both what is in the past and relate to them what is in the present. Legal arguments sometimes use past jurisprudence to bolster their side. As for the cons - maybe you will have a hard time in taxation (but that's everybody..... except CPAs)
I think, nay, I know that is an excellent course. You will have a good command of the language and you will be able to understand the nuances of legalese (which everyone fears)
Hi Dean! I’m currently a grade 12 STEM student and planning to pursue law in the future. I am really not satisfied in the STEM field since I really don’t enjoy it, but chose it anyways since one of my options was to be in the medical field. But since high school, the discipline that I am proficient with was Social Sciences and Philosophy. So I am planning to take up a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Social Studies degree and hopefully, if given the chance to get a Minor in English (practically to satisfy the required English Units). What are your thoughts po?
Hello, dean! I'm still confused as to what pre-law I should take. I've been thinking between Philo or Psych. What are the pros and cons of both? What are my other job opportunities too? Or what could I gain from both when taking law already? Thank you!
If its job opportunities after a course you will select, Psych is a better bet. If you are taking law for sure, I would go with Philo. But it is best to talk it over with your guidance counselor and your parents.
hello dean tnx for wonderful video im a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation i just want to study Maritime law hope i can get you some tips and advice thank's
Hi, Dean Vera. I am currently enrolled in Ceramics Eng'g at MSU-IIT yet I am planning to shift to a soft science program. My options are Socio and Psych. ELS is also included but not that prioritized. If I am to go to law school after finishing my degree and is up for a job at the same time, what pre law is advisable in my case? Thank you, Dean.
Hello dean, I'm a graduate of Education major in MAPEH and currently teaching as an English as a Second Language teacher. I'm eager to become a lawyer. Do you have any advice sir? Am I qualified? What are my advantages and disadvantages? What expertise or practice am I going to exercise after I passed the Bar? Thank you Dean. God bless.
Wanting to be a lawyer is already a great advantage. Having a good command of English is also an advantage. You are definitely qualified. As far as practice, having English as a degree, you can become a judge. Good luck!
Hi Dean, I graduated double major in Bus. Mgt. & Nursing. Currently, I practice real estate as a broker since 2005, which has law aspects in practice. I've been thinking of going to law school. I heard some schools are so loaded that full time studying is a must. I like to study & work at the same time. What is a good school that you can recommend? Thank you Dean in advance.
Law school is very tough and demanding. I would go where you live the nearest. I know location is a non-factor when classes are online but when the regular classes come back, then commuting time will be a factor.
I am currently grade 10 student and I am taking HUMSS as my senior high strand. I am not fan of reading books or learning english before but I am now challenging myself to change. I want to take AB English as my pre-law course to be eloquent in English and build a habit of reading as well as enjoying my college life where my passion and interests really belong. My purpose of becoming a lawyer someday is to become a law professor like you and to produce more lawyers in the future.❤️ Sir, but how to become a law professor? Do I have to study about education courses? I don't have any Idea. Thank you for this video, it really helped me❤️
Hello dean! How about a major in agriculture sir? Quoting what you said about choosing a pre law major that I will enjoy learning, I've always had interest and love in plants and the business I can make out of it. So does agriculture have those units that you mentioned needed for law school? Hope you can notice this question, sir. Would be such a great help because as a senior high student I have been confused whether to pursue Agriculture or Pol Sci for college.
I think Philosophy is an excellent course. Critical thinking and logical arguments are key in interpreting laws. Criminal laws are based on human nature and human relations. You will be able to understand both
Hello Dean! How 'bout Psychology po? Bachelor in science or Bachelor in arts psychology? I will soon graduate and become a college freshman but I'm still having difficult time in choosing my pre law course: •Psychology(Ab, Bs) •Literature •philosophy The dilemma that I am experiencing right now is philosophy and psychology differences, comparison, effiency. Actually, I can surely excel in any of those courses but I have to pick 1. Psychology, I believe, can build up my mental structure for I will need it in law school but, I really don't know Dean... Philo? Psycho? Lit? Pls help :(
If you really want to be a lawyer, get Lit. If you want that something to fall back on, I would go with Psych as it can give you more employment opportunities.
Good day, Dean! This video was very helpful and I am very glad that I happened to stumble upon your channel :> .I'm a graduating SHS student and I am planning to take Accountancy as a pre-law course, but I would like to become a Prosecutor someday. Although Criminology is more preferable, is it okay if I proceed to Accountancy instead? Since it is due to the career opportunities if ever law school does not work out for me. Thank you :>
Go with Accounting. If that is a course where you will comfortable, you will have a great time in college. A good college experience is always good. You can still be a prosecutor! you can specialize in financial crimes.
dean, i’m taking humss po. if i’ll be taking law for sure, yung pre-law course of choice ko is ab literature. need po ba mag summer class before law school if yun yung pre-law course? & ano po yung best pre-law course for job opportunities na pasok sa humss? incase po na ‘di ako matuloy sa pagiging abogado.
Hello, Dean! I know many law students and other RUclipsrs have already advised us that there's no such thing as the perfect pre-law, but is it really a 100% okay to choose any college course? I'm a little pressured po with that thought and I can't choose between AB Psychology and AB Political Science but I really want to become a lawyer in the future :(
Hello Juliane. Yes, there is not perfect pre-law course. If you really dead set, take PoliSci. If you feel you need a back up career, take Psych. Good luck!
Hello Dean! I'm currently taking my undergrad in Communication, what do you think are my edges when I enter in law school soon after I finish my pre law? Thank you in advance, Dean!
You will have skills in understanding the written word which all laws are. You will also be able understand human relations which is 80% of the law, Civil Code, Family law and Criminal law
Hi! I want to practice International Law and be an International Attorney afterwards. What college major will give me an edge during practice of International Law? And what are the steps to be one?
Hello sir, I'm actually deciding if I should pursue law school. I will take economics as a pre law course and I don't know what type of law should I go into after I graduate. Like should I go with corporate law or litigation and more.
Same. I took HUMSS as my strand but I'm planning to take on Bachelor of Arts in economics, since it was much more recommendable for an HUMSS student. I wanted to puruse law but I was still wondering if what kind of lawyer would be suitable for me. I'm currently struggling on that decision as of now. I also wanted to thank the Dean for giving information that no one else gave but him here in RUclips. It really made much more sense and much more coherent.
@@yrm3745 hi I'm sure you will soon know what kind of law you are going with. Currently i have 3 choices, corporate law, litigation, and legal. You can watch Tina Amador-Robles vlog to have more knowledge about being a lawyer. She helped me a lot.
Hi dean, I really want to be a lawyer but the thing is, i'm not good in english speaking, am i qualified to enter law school? or if ever, is there a way to sharpen my vocabulary during school? thanks dean
hello dean!! I'm currently an incoming shs student and the strand I've been choosing from is stem/abm. I am planning to pursue either legal management as my prelaw course but at the same time, I am doubtful. I'm also interested in international law as well but lately, I've been checking out medical malpractice law. I still have a long way to go and I'm really overwhelmed with these broad variety of choices. do you have any tips in figuring out what I really want??
Good morning dean, I am planning to take ab economics, may I ask if what would be my edge if I took this particular course and is that degree really useful in law school?
Hi, Dean. As of this moment, I am gathering all my documents to apply for law school. I'm a BA Psychology graduate and I think this course is best when dealing with clients and their emotions especially once they are on the witness stand. I think if mastered il be able to play around with how I do my questioning. Am I correct? I just want to know how my course will be beneficial to me as a lawyer. Also, I am just going to submit requirements then I'm good to go. Though, I'm still undecided to which school I will attend to. I hope I will be able to pick the right university/school. 🤔
On your point of dealing with clients and their emotions, I would agree on your assessment. On which law school to choose, that's a tough one. Apply to the top law schools, take a chance. If not, choose a law school where it will be comfortable for you when face to face classes will come back (which is probably next year).
@@TheDeanLawChannel Sorry for the late reply... Thank you so much for the advice, Yes! I really find it difficult to look for a law school that will actually really suit my preferences. I guess we all have because of course we know ourselves and only you will know what kind of teaching style that will unleash your potential as a lawyer. I guess that's how I see it. I hope I am wrong at the same time I hope I am right. Thanks so much, again atty.
Hi, Dean. I just want to know and I'm really confuse on what college course I must pursue. I'm thinking of three choices which are Philosophy, English Literature, and PolSci. Dean, what should I choose among these three choices. I thank you, Dean, in advance for answering this question.
Ok, since you have decided you want to be a lawyer, I would suggest English Literature. But it will become a true commitment to finish law school. If you want a back up plan degree, among your choices, take PoliSci. That will give you better options.
hello po dean! i’m still in shs and have been thinking if my college course (hopefully to be taken in upd), and my top choice is ab sociology, but i’m worried about the units i wont be able to take within the course. since i’m aiming to become a prosecutor, is ab sociology a good fit? other courses i’ve been thinking of is ab psychology (for “back up”) and ab english literature or ab philosophy (just to have the fitting degree). any advice po? thank you so much!
Sociology would be a good fit as a prosecutor. A prosecutor does preliminary investigations prior to a criminal case being filed in the court. If they had your education, they would be better equipped and use human behaviour.
Hello dean, I'm really interested in becoming a lawyer in the future and next year I'm about to become a SHS. What academic tract would you recommend for an aspiring future lawyers?
Hi Dean, maganda araw po. Can I be a public defender/prosecutor kahit Accountancy po ite-take ko sa college? God Bless po and more power. Stay healthy!
Of course! Just this week, I helped counsel a client who had an employee embezzle money. When that case is filed in court, I will more comfortable if the prosecutor had an accounting background. Also, tax evasion cases are handled by public prosecutors. Accounting knowledge will give them an edge
Hi! This video is great and very helpful. Can I take BS Psychology as my pre-law for law school? And how does good moral affect your performance? I hope you can notice my cooment. Thankyou. :))
@@TheDeanLawChannel Ohh I see po. Thankyou for answering my question. Ive been watching your vlogs since yesterday and they’re really helpful. Keep it up the good work po and thankyou so much for the informations :)))))
Hello, Dean! Can you talk about what really a lawyer does in a day? I have been interested in taking up law since I was a child but right now I am having thoughts because I realized I don’t want to stay in the office all day long. Also, how can one join the prosecution? I plan to be a prosecutor since I am really into crimes. Thank you, Dean! More power to you!
Good afternoon, Atty! I'm a Grade1 2 student so I still have a long way to go. But I would like to know if AB Diplomacy (International Relations) is a good pre-law degree. Does it have an edge? What are its disadvantages?
I believe that AB Diplomacy is a great degree if you want to practice international law. You can work for the UN or its agencies or even the DFA after passing the bar exam
hello im currently contemplating what is the best psychology as a pre law major. what are the pros and cons of bs psychology and ab psychology as a prelaw major?
Good day dean! I am currently in high school. I have three majors that I have in mind. AB Legal Management, BSPolitical Science, and BS Criminology which major should I take since I want to be a Criminal Defense Attorney
Hello. Thanks for watching. You stated the correct practice area, criminal defence. Now, if that is what you really want, I would go for BS Criminology where you will learn the nuances of crimes, how they are committed and how evidence is collected.
Good day! I'm about to take BS psychology as my pre law but because I didn't qualified in BS Psychology in my dream state university. Now I am planning to take Philosophy or Bachelor of Public administration. what are the pros and cons of the two po ba? Thanks and may God bless your yt channel. ❤️
Legal management will give a heads up on certain legal subjects. Also, if asked by a law professor, it will show that you are determined to be a lawyer. Good luck!
Hello dean! I am currently a nursing student planning on shifting this AY due to financial and personal issues, there are schools offering free tuition fees and I really want to choose the best pre-law major that would aid me best in law school, and if I ever am not able to go to law school it may be my career as well.
The two programs I deeply am troubled about taking is Communications and History. For starters, I really am passionate about history or anthropology as this has been my childhood dream and I think it would be something worthwhile of learning, although I have been told that my career opportunities if I do not enter law school or engage in higher degrees, would be limited. Next is Communication or Speech Comm, I am really great at public speaking.

I love public speaking because I know this is one thing that I am good at especially that I know that I am able to hone my confidence in a way that I could project my talent more.

You can do it! Since it your passion, that will carry you through.

So I was kinda nervous when you have already mentioned accountancy, business management, philosophy, political science and all that but not literature. I literally had a second thought that it was a bad choice for my pre-law course. Lol. Btw, thank you for the tips! I would really love to hear something like this from a dean!
For me personally, I would welcome the AB English degree. It will give you the best critical analytical thinking. All lawyers need that and only develop it in law school.
I was a BS Computer Science student during my first semester, and I bravely took the risk in shifting to AB English Literature Study for my second semester SY 2020-2021 because it feels like I enter the wrong room not suit for my interest. I choose AB Eng in hopes that it will help me in my english both speaking and writing that soon I can use if ever I want to proceed Law School. So I'm very thankful I found your channel Mr. Dean.
You have the best course in my opinion. Thanks for the view and comment.
Sabi na eh English related Major bet ni Dean Atty HAHAHAHAHAH
Okay may confidence na ako sa degree ko pag papasok ako law school.

Good luck Xelestine! Thank you for your comment and view

I FEEL RELIEVE DEAN. I WANTED TO ENTER LAW SCHOOL IN THE FUTURE AND I AM EAGER TO TAKE CRIMINOLOGY AS MY PRE LAW COURSE IN SOME REASONS HOWEVER, CRIM IS NOT USUALLY THE CHOICE OF MAJORITY AS A PRE LAW COURSE AND I AM SO HAPPY THE MOMENT YOU SAID THAT CRIM IS ALSO A GOOD PRE LAW COURSE THANKS DEAN, THIS IS VERY HELPFUL AND ENCOURAGING.
You are truly welcome Mikasa. I hope you make it to law school one day

Dean, my friend's son is a graduate of specialist program in political science with double major in philosopy and mathematics in one of the top universities in the world. He aced the LSAT at 97 percentile and recieved an offer from yale, harvard and standford. He is planning to take the philippine bar after he finished his law school.
Meeko Pal, if he has a US law degree, he won't be able to take the Philippine bar exam. Is he going to law school in the Philippines?
@@TheDeanLawChannel He is also a pinoy but migrated to Canada when he was 7 years old. I think the supreme court has allowed foreign law graduate pinoys to take the bar starting this year, 2023 but applicants must provide certain certifications to the supreme court.

Good day Sir,
I am currently taking BS Finance. I have profs who are Atty. that teaches us about Business law(ObliCon),Monetary policy(more on AMLA,AMLC, RA8791 etc) and taxation. I find it really interesting to study about these subjs and it excites me everytime there are recitations.
Great. I hope that interest continues until you get to law school
I am having second thougths on going to med (its too expensive and I have a business to manage) and I stumble upon this. This might be a sign. Thank you Dean for your insights!

Hello, Dean! I hope you notice this.
I am currently a Grade 12 ABM student who's stuck with choices AB Legal Management, AB English Language Studies, and AB Sociology for my pre-law course (I didn't include BSA because I really do not enjoy the subject).
I personally like AB Sociology the most but my personality calls for LegMa because it already covers many business law topics and I want to have a foretaste of law school. On the other hand, the reason why AB ELS occupies my least preferred choice is because I believe that one's English skills needed in law school can be honed in any pre-law. Both AB ELS & AB SCL are included on account of my 2nd dream, which is to be a professor.
Moreover, I already put AB Legal Management as my main program choice but I can still change it. If I choose this course, I am afraid I'd find it hard to land a job after college.
What are the pros and cons of LegMa? Is this a good pre-law?
So the specific question is on legal management... The pros:
1. You will definitely have prior knowledge (at least for freshman year) on the laws that is taken up in law school
2. If the law subjects are taught by lawyers, they might teach the way they do in law school, so you will have a taste in that.
3. Law schools won't question your degree and wonder why you went to law school.
Cons:
1. The job market is indeed thin if you don't go to law school.
2. Law professors might have higher expectations on you to perform better in class.
Hope this helps.
Hello Dean! I am a graduating STEM student who is currently going through the rigorous phase of college applications. I would like to ask if Bachelor of Public Administration is an ideal pre-law degree for someone who is eyeing for government work after law school. I am aware that BA Political Science is the more preferred degree for such field, however, most of the universities I have applied to do not offer this degree and I have to resort to the closest possible degree which is B Public Administration (of which I am unsure whether it will help or not).
I'm glad to have found your channel, your content is amazing and informative, keep it up!
That is an excellent degree in preparation for government service after law school.
Just what I need to hear. Thanks.
Thanks for listening. I wish you good fortune Gelladula
Hi, dean! Thanks for sharing with us your knowledge and wisdom regarding law school. Hopefully, through God's help and mercy, I am going to try it. Btw... I am a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English graduate po and I am currently working in the public school. Thanks po ^_^
Go go go! Nothing should stop you.

What’s your opinion about public administration degree before pre law , I think it covers,law,business almost every subject
It's a good pre law course. It sets up advance knowledge for constitutional, election and administrative law.
Hello Dean! I'm planning to take BS Architecture as my pre law course, I wonder if it would fit in intellectual property law.

Hello dean! Thank you so much for this video, it was a huge help for me to sort out my thoughts on what to take for my college degree. Would taking a BsEd in Biology or even Bs Biology become a hassle as a pre-law course? I want to take this because it's one of the courses that is under the DOST scholarship. Thank you again!
Both courses can qualify you for law school. Thanks for the view and comment.
Same struggle, I'm planning to take BS Psych because it is among the priority courses of DOST. Although the recommended degree for law is AB Psych.

Hi dean! I am a CPA, graduate of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. Is it really a good course for aspiring lawyers? Can I do it? Since we are trained to analyze rather than memorize. I think I will have a hard time memorizing provisions :(
Anyway, nice video ❤️
We have several CPAs studying the Univ. of Caloocan City, College of Law. I see that CPA's adjust quickly to the rigors of law school. I have a video on memorization techniques, maybe that can help - bit.ly/3nzGTMM
Took AB legal Management in UST as my pre law course. Well, quite advantage in the first 2 weeks of law school but after that, all are in equal foot. But it was quite a good foundation esp knowing how competitive my profs and classmates in UST.
Well, because of your legal management course, you have a better understanding of law, its effects and its intent. I am sure that will carry on throughout your law school. And ObliCon is still next sem.

Hello Dean! Is English Language Studies also a good course aside from English Literature Studies? I'm quite confused with their distinction and what do you think are the pros and cons of these two courses? Thank you!
Yes, it is! you will have a good command of the English language which is the medium in law
Hello po dean! I’m contemplating whether to take engineering or accountancy as my pre law. Can you please share some pros and cons of those 2 courses when I plan to pursue Law school later on. Thank you dean! very much appreciated your vids po.
Ok, here we go:
Engineering:
Pro - you can practice patent law. Very lucrative payouts. US law firms pay about $180K annually as a starting salary!
Cons - Too rigid in formula and concepts. Law is about interpreting words and not too much on data unless you are in patent law 😎
Accounting:
Pro - You can practice tax law. Very few lawyers go into tax law which means you have little competition to look for jobs or clients
Cons - Tax, no one likes tax.
@@TheDeanLawChannel thank you po dean! Very helpful advice po.
Hi dean , my pre-law course is Criminology but I'm a bit interested of corporate Law. Is it irrelevant of my pre-law course that choose to practice someday? I'm your number 1 viewer of your videos dean, hope you enlighten me.

Yes, it is! I wish you good luck
Thank you for sharing these inspiring ideas, Dean Rod. I'm currently a college instructor teaching English literature and oral communication. I've finally decided to enter law school and I would appreciate it so much if you can give me some law practice which are best suited for my undergraduate degree. I finished secondary education specializing in English. Thank you Dean. I'm already one of your subscriber.
Maganda po yan dahil most subjects are in english
You have an excellent undergraduate degree. For that, you can practice Constitutional law or even international law. Language is always subject to interpretation and construction. Your degree will definitely give you an advantage.
Hi Dean may I ask what is the best in philosophy for beginners. Thanks po
Something logic based
Hello dean! what are your thoughts about medtech being the pre law course? can you share some pros and cons? thank dean!

hello dean,im a current grade11 HUMMS student,1 year ahead to college and im still planning and thinking if what kind of course will i pursue in college,wether PolSci or AB ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDIES but my teachers advice me to take AB SECONDARY ENGLISH IN EDUCATION because of what they've seen on me in argumentative and reports,on those 3 options,what should i take as my pre-law course dean,thank you in advance sir.
I would go with either of the two english degrees
Hi, Dean! I am an upcoming STEM student. I want to ask if what do you recommend for me to take as a pre-law course that is somehow related to STEM and that will help me in developing my skills? I'm just afraid that if I take unrelated course then it might be hard for me to adjust. Thank you!
I would suggest a course that you love and that you will enjoy in college. A great college experience will lessen the stress in law school
Good day, Sir Dean! I want to take up BA History as a pre law course. Is it a good stepping stone? And what are the pros and cons to this?
That's a good question. The pros is that you will be able to argue using skills you learned in college. History majors I believe can relate to both what is in the past and relate to them what is in the present. Legal arguments sometimes use past jurisprudence to bolster their side. As for the cons - maybe you will have a hard time in taxation (but that's everybody..... except CPAs)
Hmn so I'll get the Criminology course since I really want to be a prosecutor...
Excellent choice.
Hello dean, I'm planning to take AB English as my pre law course. I wanna know your thoughts about it po..
I think, nay, I know that is an excellent course. You will have a good command of the language and you will be able to understand the nuances of legalese (which everyone fears)
Good day, dean. What do you think is the best law specialization for Philosophy graduates?
Judiciary. They always do logical reasoning when the write a decision.
Hi Dean! I’m currently a grade 12 STEM student and planning to pursue law in the future. I am really not satisfied in the STEM field since I really don’t enjoy it, but chose it anyways since one of my options was to be in the medical field. But since high school, the discipline that I am proficient with was Social Sciences and Philosophy. So I am planning to take up a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Social Studies degree and hopefully, if given the chance to get a Minor in English (practically to satisfy the required English Units). What are your thoughts po?
That would be a great course for pre-law. Excel in that course and you will have an easier time in law school
Good day, Dean! I was wondering if Architecture would serve as a good pre-law course?
Yes, absolutely. You can go into construction law or even copyright law
are u also going to take architecture as ur pre-law course?
Hello, dean! I'm still confused as to what pre-law I should take. I've been thinking between Philo or Psych. What are the pros and cons of both? What are my other job opportunities too? Or what could I gain from both when taking law already? Thank you!
If its job opportunities after a course you will select, Psych is a better bet. If you are taking law for sure, I would go with Philo. But it is best to talk it over with your guidance counselor and your parents.

Hi, Dean Vera. I am currently enrolled in Ceramics Eng'g at MSU-IIT yet I am planning to shift to a soft science program. My options are Socio and Psych. ELS is also included but not that prioritized. If I am to go to law school after finishing my degree and is up for a job at the same time, what pre law is advisable in my case? Thank you, Dean.
Given the scenario as stated, I would go for Psych. If law school is not available, that would give you flexibility in the job market.

It would be great! You can practice Agrarian reform or land registration law
Hi Dean, I graduated double major in Bus. Mgt. & Nursing. Currently, I practice real estate as a broker since 2005, which has law aspects in practice. I've been thinking of going to law school. I heard some schools are so loaded that full time studying is a must.
I like to study & work at the same time. What is a good school that you can recommend? Thank you Dean in advance.
Law school is very tough and demanding. I would go where you live the nearest. I know location is a non-factor when classes are online but when the regular classes come back, then commuting time will be a factor.

Same. I took HUMSS as my strand but I'm planning to take on Bachelor of Arts in economics, since it was much more recommendable for an HUMSS student. I wanted to puruse law but I was still wondering if what kind of lawyer would be suitable for me. I'm currently struggling on that decision as of now.
I also wanted to thank the Dean for giving information that no one else gave but him here in RUclips. It really made much more sense and much more coherent.

Hi, Dean. As of this moment, I am gathering all my documents to apply for law school. I'm a BA Psychology graduate and I think this course is best when dealing with clients and their emotions especially once they are on the witness stand. I think if mastered il be able to play around with how I do my questioning. Am I correct? I just want to know how my course will be beneficial to me as a lawyer. Also, I am just going to submit requirements then I'm good to go. Though, I'm still undecided to which school I will attend to. I hope I will be able to pick the right university/school. 🤔
On your point of dealing with clients and their emotions, I would agree on your assessment. On which law school to choose, that's a tough one. Apply to the top law schools, take a chance. If not, choose a law school where it will be comfortable for you when face to face classes will come back (which is probably next year).

Sociology would be a good fit as a prosecutor. A prosecutor does preliminary investigations prior to a criminal case being filed in the court. If they had your education, they would be better equipped and use human behaviour.

Hello. Thanks for watching. You stated the correct practice area, criminal defence. Now, if that is what you really want, I would go for BS Criminology where you will learn the nuances of crimes, how they are committed and how evidence is collected.
Good day! I'm about to take BS psychology as my pre law but because I didn't qualified in BS Psychology in my dream state university. Now I am planning to take Philosophy or Bachelor of Public administration. what are the pros and cons of the two po ba? Thanks and may God bless your yt channel. ❤️
Pick a course where you will be comfortable.
Hello po Dean! How about BS Legal Management. Would it have any advantages? What are your thoughts? Thanks.
Legal management will give a heads up on certain legal subjects. Also, if asked by a law professor, it will show that you are determined to be a lawyer. Good luck!
