Our Pre-Law Programs
OUR PRE-LAW PROGRAMS
A Challenging Academic Program
We prepare you for the rigors of law school through lectures, seminars, mock trials, simulations and guest lecturers that provide a solid foundation of the legal system and issues.
A Proven Training Ground for Law School
Our curriculum will help prepare you for the challenges of a law school curriculum. Courses like Introduction to Law will provide you with a basic legal vocabulary and knowledge base that provides a solid foundation for your first year of law school. Other courses like Constitutional Law and American Civil Liberties prepare you for the required constitutional law courses you'll encounter in law school. Plus, because of our emphasis on academic rigor, you'll already know the basics of legal research and writing before you ever walk onto the law school campus.
