Pre-Law Advising Services

CLA students will have the opportunity to meet with the pre-law advisor to discuss exploring law and/or law schools, the process of applying to law schools, and resources available to pre-law students.

Pre-law advising is not offered via drop-in advising. Students must schedule an appointment.

The following is not covered through pre-law advising and you are encouraged to connect with Career Services.

  • Resume review
  • Mock interviews
  • Pursuing another career interest outside of law

Common FAQs

The university does not have any of those three options, but in a pre-law advising appointment we can discuss how you can incorporate your law interests into your studies.

Law schools do not require students to be a specific major to apply. I encourage you to select a major you will excel in.

Law schools do not have prerequisite course you need to take.

Some law schools have additional application requirements, but the schools will always ask for a personal statement, all college level transcripts, 1-2 letters of recommendation, resume, and your LSAT score.
