Top Law Schools

After getting a bachelor's degree in either legal studies or communication, I would like to get a graduate degree in Public Relations and a JD degree. After this I want to go into public relations, and eventually open a firm for litigation law and media/public relations. I was just wondering if there are any schools that offer a joint degree program for a JD/Masters in Public Relations. I would also appreciate any advice from anyone who has gone into a similar program and/or career.

And what is that exactly?

Litigation law deals with settling controversies or disputes between and among persons, organizations, and the State.

Media/Public Relations involves working with media for the purpose of keeping up an individual's or organization's image in a positive manner.

Please god tell me this is a flame

So your firm will do both of these? I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes.

Actually it will be more of a crisis management firm that deals with managing crises, media/public relations, and litigation support.

Yeah, more like Smith and Company, a real firm that the show is based on.

I, too, would like to someday practice litigation law.

I one day would like to stop practicing and move on to the real dead

Judging by their website, this field seems like it is tough to break in to. Good luck though!
