[LAW SCHOOL] Here are the best pre-law courses for Filipinos wanting to become future lawyers

A question often asked is: What is the best pre-law course for anyone wanting to go to law school? Here are some answers:

Political Science: Political science is a great pre-law course because it teaches students about the government, the law, and the legal system. Political science courses typically cover topics such as constitutional law, civil rights, and criminal law.

Philosophy: Philosophy is another great pre-law course because it teaches students how to think critically and to analyze arguments. Philosophy courses typically cover topics such as logic, ethics, and political philosophy.

History: History is a great pre-law course because it teaches students about the past and how it has shaped the present. History courses typically cover topics such as American history, world history, and legal history.

Economics: Economics is a great pre-law course because it teaches students about how the economy works and how the law can be used to regulate the economy. Economics courses typically cover topics such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, and public finance.

English: English is a great pre-law course because it teaches students how to communicate effectively. English courses typically cover topics such as grammar, composition, and literature.

These are just some of the best pre-law courses for law in the Philippines. Ultimately, the best pre-law course for you will depend on your interests and strengths. If you are interested in politics, philosophy, history, economics, or English, then these courses would be a great fit for you.

It is also important to note that you do not need to have a pre-law degree to get into law school in the Philippines. However, having a pre-law degree can give you a competitive advantage in the law school admissions process.

If you are considering law school, I recommend that you research the different pre-law courses and choose one that is a good fit for you. You should also visit the law schools that you are interested in and talk to current students and faculty. This will help you make an informed decision about which pre-law course is right for you.
