We will post info about upcoming events and links to interesting articles about law school-related topics.
According to the Law School Admission Council, the American Bar Association “does not recommend any undergraduate majors or group of courses to prepare for a legal education. Students are admitted to law school from almost every academic discipline and may choose to major in subjects that are considered to be traditional preparation for law school, such as history, English, philosophy, political science, economics, or business or in areas as diverse as art, music, science, mathematics, computer science, or theatre. Whatever major is selected, students are encouraged to pursue an area of study that interests and challenges them while taking advantage of opportunities to develop their research and writing skills. Taking a broad range of difficult courses from demanding instructors is excellent preparation for legal education. A sound legal education will build upon and further refine the skills, values, and knowledge that students already possess. The student who goes on to law school lacking a broad range of basic skills and knowledge will face a difficult challenge.
All students, regardless of major, who elect to participate in the pre-law program or who seek advice and direction regarding pre-law studies or need advice before applying to law school should register with Cailín Pachter in the Career Center.
