240, bad bad advice.
It doesn't matter what your degree is in to get into law school. Actually, communications would be ideal. So would English. Lawyers pride themselves on there communication skills... something both degrees would provide.
Worst (still wouldn't preclude you from going) would be something like a biology degree etc.
this is truly terrible advice, first off people with biology degrees and other engineering degrees from an undergraduate institution can go into patent law which is where are shitload of money can be made without even being on law review.
Secondly your undergraduate degree is really irrelevant unless you want to go into tax law, where being a cpa helps but is not absolutely necessary or if you want to go into patent law where you generally need an engineering degree.
My corporations professor in law school had an undergraduate degree in chinese studies, it didn't hinder his "communication skills"
As someone who just graduated and took the bar exam, my recommendation is that the debt incurred to go to law school may not be worth it. As someone mentioned it earlier the high paying corporate jobs are disappearing and more lawyers are having to settle for public sector and smaller private firms that don't pay that well.
