A background in psychology can be enormously useful for the study and practice of law. There are so many interconnections between law and psychology that one can hardly go wrong in terms of course selection. The most important thing to do while taking psychology courses is to think continually about the kinds of legal problems to which that information might be applicable. The following individual courses are especially useful in preparing for legal training.
