pre-law
Future attorney's major
Pre-law describes undergraduate studies or programs designed to prepare students for law school.
A pre-law student takes courses in writing, logic, political science, and other subjects considered good foundations for legal education: She's pre-law at Georgetown.
Unlike pre-med, pre-law isn't a formal major—it's a track or concentration.
