Overview

To attend law school, undergraduate students must first complete their bachelor's degree and then take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). There is no single pre-law course of study that is required or recommended. Several broad objectives of pre-legal education, however, have been set forth by the Association of American Law Schools. To best prepare yourself, take a range of courses that provide fundamental skills and a solid understanding of: 

  • language
  • the ability to think and write clearly and succinctly
  • logical reasoning and analytical skills
  • an appreciation of social, political and economic foundations and complexities

Toward this end, every pre-law student should carefully choose, with the assistance of your academic adviser and/or the pre-law adviser, courses that hone those skills listed.
