Miscellaneous comments:
I never expected that a math degree would prepare me so well for
a legal career, but it has done exactly that. The problem-solving
skills and logical reasoning process taught as part of the math
curriculum provides the fundamental tools to learning and applying
the law. It is interesting to note that a large number of students
at the top of any law school class are math and science majors--that
was certainly true at my school as well. Math classes, like law
school classes, teach students how to think, a very key skill to
success. Best of luck to all those considering a mathematics and/or
legal career.
