A love of TV crime shows drew Lauren Bolt to pre-law undergrad studies at Michigan State University.
“I liked that the attorneys always knew what to say,” she said. “Now, I know an abundance of research comes before the trial.”
With a minor in law, justice and public policy as well as Spanish, Bolt earned her undergraduate degree in psychology, believing the unique mix of humanity and problem solving would stand her in good stead in a future legal career.
“Understanding different perspectives allows you to be a more compassionate person — and a compassionate person is much easier to talk to,” she said. “Compassion will help forge a bond between me and my clients.
Bolt said she also believed that psychology helps her “to think outside of the box when problem solving.
“I can find more solutions that help reach the answer from multiple angles. I can get a clearer picture of the overall goal that way, and come up with a concise and complete solution.”
Bolt served as a research assistant to the MSU Political Science Department, researching psychological influences in U.S. Supreme Court cases.
