I often get asked what type of undergraduate degree is best for people who are interested in going to law school and traditionally it’s been things like English or political science or history. I actually have a degree in sociology and behavior analysis and when I got those degrees from the University of North Texas I never really anticipated how that would work to my favor but I think both of those have helped me very much in understanding the group think that goes on in a jury.

Denton, TX trial attorney Grace Weatherly talks about her past experience and how it has helped her throughout her career. She explains that frequently, I am asked about the most suitable undergraduate degree for individuals considering law school. While fields like English, political science, and history have traditionally been popular choices, I took a different path. My degrees in sociology and behavior analysis from the University of North Texas have unexpectedly proven to be advantageous. These disciplines have significantly contributed to my comprehension of group dynamics and the collective mindset that influences jury decision-making. Understanding the intricacies of group think has been instrumental in my practice, and I am grateful for the unique perspective my educational background has provided.
