Pre-Law Description

Law has been an important element of every civilization in history. It is a profession for those who have good reasoning powers, the ability to express themselves clearly and concisely, and an understanding of their fellow human beings. Lawyers must analyze problems, gather evidence, research the law, interpret the law, synthesize information, present arguments, write legal briefs, and give legal counsel.

Because career types vary widely in the homeland security industry, so do salaries. Here is a sampling of pre-law-related jobs, their salaries and career prospects.
