Minors are much like a mini-major, and usually a little over half the number of units required for the major, minors provide another concentration in a particular area of study. There are several minors that will allow you to gain exposure to the subject matter of the law. However, a law-related minor will not place you at an advantage over another applicant who pursued a minor not related to law. The basic rule for choosing a minor is the same as for choosing a major; choose something you like and do well in it.
