Contact Pre-Law Advising

The University of Richmond’s Pre-Law Advisor is Dr. David Lefkowitz, professor of philosophy and PPEL. His teaching and scholarship span three overlapping areas: the morality of obedience and disobedience to law; analytical and normative issues in international law; and the ethical conduct of international affairs.

Among the courses Dr. Lefkowitz teaches on a semi-regular basis are Philosophy of Law, a First Year Seminar on Philosophy and the Criminal Law, and for the PPEL Program, a Capstone Seminar on Normative Theory and International Law. Dr. Lefkowitz is the author of Philosophy and International Law: A Critical Introduction, and has published over forty articles in academic journals including Legal Theory, Law and Philosophy, and The Hague Yearbook of International Law.

Students interested in prelaw are encouraged to email Dr. Lefkowitz at dlefkowi@richmond.edu to schedule a meeting. To receive the most up-to-date prelaw advising information and announcements please sign up for the prelaw advising listserv.
