Student Testimonials

"The FHSU Pre-law program extends the learning process beyond the classroom in numerous ways. These include scheduling practicing lawyers to speak to the students, visiting local law schools and sitting in on law school classes, and visiting governmental sites such as the Judicial Center and Capitol in Topeka, Kansas. All of these out-of-the-classroom activities have allowed the students to become more knowledgeable in their intended professional field."

Pre-law Students Visiting a Law Firm

"The advantage the FHSU Legal Research and Writing class has given me in law school has been invaluable; I was asked by my first-year Legal Research and Writing Professor at KU to be a Teaching Assistant for the class."
Molly Bircher - 2000 Grad

"The classes I took in the FHSU Pre-law program were tailored excellently to both obtaining a solid foundation in legal principles and to addressing extralegal and societal concerns about the purposes and underlying policy concerns of many legal issues."
Bryan Bennett - 1999 Grad

"Legal Research Methods gave me a jump start on my legal education and helped me ot be a little less stressed than the average law student during my first semester due to not having to learn so much all at once. In addition, Law and Society and Public Law gave students the opportunity to begin to think like a lawyer and more importantly, to get an idea of what the teaching methods in a law school classroom are like."

Pre-law Students Listening to a Lecture at Washburn Law School

"I am currently a first-year law student at Washburn University School of Law. It is in this academic year, in which we have been forced to read, analyze, and discuss large and often complex topics, that I have been able to appreciate what value the FHSU Pre-law program has added to my education. As I sit amongst 173 other first-year law students I feel that by taking numerous courses, I have had an advantage over my law school classmates."
Paul Kitzke

"The Pre-law Society provides many wonderful opportunities. I have particulary enjoyed visiting Kansas law schools, touring the Judicial Center in Topeka, and meeting Kansas Court of Appeals judges and Kansas Supreme Court Justices, plus having the opportunity to listen to two Supreme Court Justices speak at The University of Kansas School of Law."
Megan Palmer

"As I began lookin for the institution where I would pursue my post-secondary education, I decided to look at Fort Hays State University. During my visit I was immediately impressed, and by the time I arrived home I knew Fort Hays State was the place for me. The Pre-law curriculum is unparalleled by any institution of which I am aware, including some that boast about their pre-law programs."
