Pre law students are required to choose a degree major in which
they will specialize. No one major best prepares students for
law school and no particular course of study is a prerequisite
for admission to law school. The Pre Law Advising Committee
suggests that the best preparation for law school is a broad
education which ensures exposure to the varieties of thought
about the social, political, economic, philosophical, and cultural
forces which have shaped law and the societies it governs. Pre
law students must develop substantial skills in writing and
be able to think critically and logically.
The Pre Law Advising Committee urges students to see one of
its members as soon as they consider going to law school. Advice
on the specific character of each student's pre law program,
help in preparation for the LSAT examination, and support in
admission to law school are the aims of each member of the committee.
