Geography is about the idea of "place" which is why it's very broad and sometimes hard to pinpoint but that can mean that it has many applications. <br />In terms of GIS and mapping, I can see why a map can and would aid in making an argument because visual representation of spatial data can be very persuasive. I feel like the person creating a map for a case would be someone "beneath" a lawyer as a support though and not necessarily the lawyer themselves. As a somewhat related example, mapping is often helpful to police departments when trying to determine patterns in crime and a lot of crime shows on tv (i.e. Hawaii 5-0, Chicago PD, Major Crimes, etc) do use mapping to help with their process in determining an area of interest. <br />Like I said, I'm not super familiar with the study of law or what in particular your brother is studying (for), but without a doubt, geography can apply and relate to many different fields. A lot of people in my geography department had a geography major and then a minor in a specific field of interest (whether it be a region or something like history or environmental science etc). Idk if your brother is still in school but maybe he could do something similar with a major in law and a minor (or just take classes) in geography and explore that a little more to figure out exactly what aspects he most enjoys. I talked a little bit more about my geography classes in my previous post linked at the top of this post. I know that law students are very busy though so I'm not sure if he'd have time lol. <br />Not sure if that helps but I hope that makes sense!

He chose law because of its prospects and prestige. Just wondering if there's any career path that you know which marries law and geography :)Jaren Lim 健全https://www.blogger.com/profile/00571460994017265881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341701356324537860.post-64921623850662201532015-10-17T18:27:00.965-10:002015-10-17T18:27:00.965-10:00Thanks for reading!

You did have to take a Statistics for Geography class but otherwise not much else (aside from the one math class of any level taken as a core requirement to graduate). It's because a Geography is a social science and my degree is a B of Arts, not a B of Science. It depends on the department and university though! For GIS in general, a basic logic-based math background does help but isn't necessary if you can still understand the concepts. <br />Traditionally GIS jobs are actually mostly taken by engineers (who do have a strong math and science background) though!
