Pre-Law Advising

Pre-law advisors can help you

• Determine if law school is a good choice for you
• Navigate the law school admissions process
• Help you determine which law schools to apply to
• Read and edit your personal statement
• Inform you about the financial implications of attending law school
• Prepare you for the methods of study used in law school
