FAQ
A forensic lawyer may also have a bachelor's degree in criminal justice with a concentration or emphasis in forensic science. Professionals with this degree often have experience in coursework such as fundamentals of criminal law, criminal justice reform and courts and criminal procedures.
Forensic science is a critical element of the criminal justice system. Forensic scientists examine and analyze evidence from crime scenes and elsewhere to develop objective findings that can absolve an innocent person from suspicion or assist in the investigation and prosecution of perpetrators of crime.
Prosecutors use forensic evidence in a wide range of criminal cases to establish guilt, corroborate witness testimony, and provide scientific support for their arguments.
The Master of Legal Studies (MLS) in Sports Law and Sports Law Compliance equips students to address issues such as Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), intellectual property, and labor law, while emphasizing ethical decision-making.
If you want to be a forensic scientist (working in a lab), you need to major in a hard science (chemistry and/or biology being the most preferred). You may be able to be a crime scene/field tech with a criminal justice major but I believe most states even prefer a hard science degree for that as well.
Forensic investigators collect evidence from crime scenes, analyze it, and conclude the results in a report that later serves as an important document in trials.
In a courtroom – Forensic scientists are often called to provide expert testimony or present scientific findings during court proceedings.
In the modern era, forensic science has become an increasingly vital tool for law enforcement agencies. Forensics helps law enforcement by providing a precise and objective analysis of evidence at crime scenes. It assists in identifying suspects, verifying timelines, and understanding the circumstances of a crime.
Having a law degree is not a necessity, but can really help a sports agent to fully understand the contracts which they are negotiating and also having the critical thinking skills to work through solutions while negotiating. Also, they are forming arguments on behalf of their clients.
However, sports law as a specialty is extremely competitive with few spots actually available. If you truly serious about sports law, I would recommend retaking the LSAT and trying for a T14, which will give you a significantly better chance at Big Law, and then in house exit options. Good Luck!!
