Pre-Law Advising

The Pre-Professional Advising Center helps you prepare for law school through a vigorous advising process that includes various workshops and one-on-one appointments. 

How to Work with the PPAC 

  1. Attend a Pre-Law Introduction Workshop for new pre-professional students. This is required before you can schedule a one-on-one appointment or attend additional workshops.
  2. Schedule your first one-on-one advising appointment.
  3. Continue to meet with your PPAC advisor at least once a semester and attend additional workshops (see below) to learn about the different components of your application

Other Events

We highly recommend you attend other PPAC events hosted throughout the year, such as the Law School Fair.
