Do lawyers have anything to do with math?

Answer 1

Several things involving math revolve around a lawyers responsibilities such as:" how many years am I going to get?", "how much is this going to cost me?"and the ever popular calculation of alimony, child support and legal fees. Barely scratches the surface. Interesting question. Hope this helps.

Lawyers mainly use math to pad their bills.

Answer 2

Im not sure....Other than normal day life using banking and things like that I can not think of much, but If you where a lawyer math could help in a case involving time frames of how long it would take to rob a bank, then get away to the safe house, of how far some ones walkie-talkies could go and of it would be possible for some one to have killed some one else and still be some where by a certain time....all this along with many other things that would rely compleatly on all the other things going on and the case at hand would be the only type of things that i could think of for math in a Lawyers position.

Lawyers are not required to be mathematicians, but they do have cases that require pretty basic mathematics. Cases involving taxes, contracts, antitrust, calculation of fees and damages, present value calculations for structured settlements all involve math, but big firms generally use experts for any complicated calculations.

One is not tested on mathematics in law school and I know that there was no math on the New York State bar exam when I took it. However,there may be some math on the LSAT. I don't know whether there is anymore.
