How much math is integrated into a law school curriculum? How about a business law program/certificate? I realize that depending on your specialization certain knowledge of math would be helpful.

For me, the only time it came up in school was when we covered comparative negligence in torts and when I took Federal Income tax. Torts was just calculating percentages, tax was formula based but still simple.

To be real though, you'll probably need basic math skills to be an attorney. I use it quite often.
