Pre-Law Advising

Mission Statement

Pre-Law advising is housed within the University Advising Center, extending and supporting its mission. We collaborate with pre-major students, declared majors, and alumni to help them explore law school as a possible postgraduate path.

Our work is grounded in three core pillars: Education, Preparation, and Networking.
