Becoming a Transactional Attorney

Im a 0L Liberal Arts major with no real business background. However since coming to college I've become very interested in business, finance, and economics. Transactional practice sounds really interesting me, and far more appealing than litigation. Would it be possible/feasible to become a transactional lawyer with only a liberal arts degree and a JD? Or is some business experience generally a prerequisite?

Yeah, you're fine, business/finance or whatever isn't a prerequisite. It might make it easier to articulate an interest in an interview, but it's not a prerequisite.

You'll stand out as one of only 95% of transactional attorneys with a similar background.
