Welcome to Pre-law Advising!
The pre-law advising site provides information on common questions about law school. The most valuable thing that you can take away is a mindset or general approach to thinking not only about law school but about your career and professional interests.
The decision to apply is only one piece of pursuing a legal career. Starting to think about your career interests early will help you to get the most out of your law school experience. It will also help you to submit a law school application that is more compelling and appealing to law school admissions officials.
Exploring your career interests will require a significant investment of time. Rather than leaving it as something to do all at once near the end of your time in college, view it as an integral part of your college education (and workload) from this point forward.
If you are leaning towards law school, keep in mind that applying to law school involves many time-consuming components, including: researching and selecting schools, preparing for the LSAT, writing personal essays, and managing multiple applications. Plan ahead by learning about the process early on and making sure that you have the lead time to put forth your best effort. Lastly, check out the prelaw advising webpage is there is a wealth of information that will help you throughout the application process.
