Introduction

Interested in pursuing a legal career?

Our pre-professional law program will guide and prepare you. It’s an advising program that provides resources and guidance to help you assess your interest and readiness for law school. You’ll also benefit from research, experiential and networking opportunities.

Our students have an outstanding acceptance and achievement record at a wide variety of law schools across the country.

Inside the Pre-Law Program

We provide a unique and enriching setting for a combination of liberal arts and preprofessional programming-a combination that is exemplified in the university’s prelaw program.

Pre-law is not actually a major; in fact, you can major in anything you want. There are no required courses. Law schools are more interested in seeing that applicants have developed good writing and critical thinking skills. They are much less concerned with whether or not you’ve learned “the law;” that’s what law school is for!

The pre-law program is designed to help guide those interested in pursuing a legal career and ensure that they have access to all of the available resources. You’ll be able to tailor the program to fit your specific needs and draw from the resources you find to be most valuable.

Advising

Prelaw program advisor Rolfe Peterson, assistant professor of political science, will advise you as you begin to consider law school and follows you through the application process.

You’ll be regularly informed about upcoming events and items of interest. Information sessions are held once a semester and are designed to provide students with more specific information regarding the actual application process. While these sessions are primarily for the benefit of juniors and seniors, all are welcome to attend.

To help students prepare for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), the program provides a practice exam twice a semester simulating an actual test. In addition, the university pays for one-half the cost of an LSAT preparation course.

We also have a close relationship with alumni who have gone on to law careers and are happy to advise students.

Mock Trial Club

Prepare to compete in regional and national courtroom competitions.

You’ll be provided with the necessary materials, training, and guidance for the competition.

This is a valuable learning experience, exposing you to the procedures of a modern-day courtroom and helping you decide whether or not you want to pursue a career in law. You’ll also gain public speaking and logical thinking skills.
