Can I be a criminal lawyer if I have a bachelor in finance??OR I need another major before law school?


Question:
I want to practice criminal law but I have a bachelor in finance.

Answer:
That's absolutely fine. If you plan on going into a liberal-arts aspect of law, your undergrad major wont really matter. If you plan on going into let's say chemical intellectual property law however, some background in chemistry would be nice. So, with a background in finance, you can still do criminal law.

One of my friends did political science for undergrad but eventually went into corporate law for grad...two different fields. So, yah! your future has not been closed
Law schools don't care what you majored in, you can definitely get in and attend law school with a bachelor in finance.
You have to go to law school. That's all.
Yes, doesn't really matter what your prior bachelor's is in to become a lawyer. You may have to take some additional 'pre-law' type courses, however.
