Question about Business and Commercial Law Courses

Post by alltheway » Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:46 pm

I'd like to direct this question to current law students:
Do business and commercial law courses have prerequisites back from college? Like did you have to have taken certain economics and/or undergraduate business courses in order to be able to take these business law classes in law school?
Thanks!

No law school class will require non-law school prereqs. However, learn as much econ as you can in undergrad. It will help you in 100% of all of your classes.

Nope. Occasionally, I've wished I had a little more finance/economics in my background (I have none). I've taken a few business/finance law type classes and no pre-reqs needed. People who had background in it seemed to have a much easier time with it then I did, however.
