Pre-Law

Page 118

Pre-law students are required to choose a degree major in which they will specialize. It is important to note that there is no one major which 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.
