Interested in a career in law? Pre-law advisers Prof. Wilson and Prof. Routh will lay out the basics of pre-law and the law school admissions process, and they'll be joined by a panel of Warriors in various stages of their law school experience. Our future Warrior lawyers are excited to describe their application and school selection experiences, and eager to reveal the mysteries of life in law schools across the country. Currently, Stan Stat grads are learning the law at UC Davis, Hastings, McGeorge, Golden Gate, University of Indiana, Washington University (St. Louis), and University of Massachusetts (Dartmouth). Join the Zoom meeting to hear their stories, ask questions, and learn about learning the law. Open to all students and faculty. Sponsored by the Pre-Law Resource Center and the Pre Law Society.

Students must attend their assigned court for 120 hours.

Prerequisites: CJ 2250, 2255, 2280 or consent of instructor. Participation in this program requires an application, interview, and approval of the instructor and/or agency representative. Open to all students.
