The “Road to Law School” workshop is designed for pre-law college freshmen & sophomores and offers valuable insights and guidance to help them succeed in their journey toward law school.

Here’s what you’ll experience:

Mock Law Class: “A Day in The Life of a Law Student”
The professor will place the students in a “mock” law school setting and introduce the students to the process of legal reasoning and legal analysis.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Undergraduate Experience
This session taught by Pre-Law Advisor, will educate students on topics such as selecting a challenging course load, developing strong relationships with professors and pre-law advisors, and developing solid time management and study skills.

Practical Law: Practicing Law in the “Real World”
An attorney will focus on the everyday life of a lawyer, including the day-to-day life of an attorney, case management, and life in the courtroom.

Mock Admissions Committee
Students will have the opportunity to view summaries of actual law school applications, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each, and learn what admissions professionals say about the applicants and their applications.  The goal is to help students appreciate the competitive nature of law school admissions by understanding that their applications will always be evaluated in comparison to those submitted by other students.  This session will also stress the importance of undergraduate grades (GPA) and LSAT scores in admission decisions.  This session will be conducted by admission officers.

Lunch Break (Lunch is Provided) – networking with peers and professors/presenters

Reading/Writing Workshop
This workshop will emphasize critical reading and basic writing skills. The goal is to explain to the participants the correlation between strong reading and writing skills and success in both their undergraduate work and the LSAT.
