<p>In Majoring in Law, Stefan Underhill introduces prospective lawyers to the profession and helps them evaluate their talents (or lack thereof) for it. Underhill examines the good and the not so good reasons why people become lawyers. He exposes the popular myths of the profession, such as "I'll be rich" (no longer a given in today's market), and the glamour of the courtroom (95 percent of all cases, civil and criminal, settle because the backlogged courts demand it). He describes the legal landscape, including private practice, public interest groups, and the government. And he shows you how to make yourself more attractive to law schools and legal employers, and how to survive and distinguish yourself in law school.</p>
