The Law School Admissions Council recommends the following courses (no matter what
your major) as ones to take in order to do well on the LSAT:
* In Philosophy: Critical Thinking (101) and Logic (201) classes (60% of of questions on the LSAT are reasoning problems).
* In English: Argumentative Writing (377) (20% of LSAT is reading and writing comprehension).
* In Political Science: American National Government (216) and Constitutional Law (320) (for content area).
* In Justice Studies: The Criminal Justice System (201) (for content area)
* In Philosophy: Introduction to Ethics (213) (an acute concern of law schools these days); and courses in the Philosophy of Law (PHIL 361C) and in Human Rights (PHIL 361P).
* A Commercial LSAT Prep Course: Such as those offered by Kalan, Princeton Review, or Power Score. Take this course in the months just prior to taking the LSAT
