An ethics course would work in opposition to a law degree.
Whats funny is that the ethics course was really just a 1 hour seminar in which you had to attend 9 of 12 and sign your name. No tests, no work. I know people who had friends sign them in for the ethics course that they didnt attend.
But because it all went down in Texas, we had to take an ethics course that was the easiest course to cheat in in the entire program.
