Welcome to the Schar School’s Patriot Pre-Law Program
From Phillip Mink, Director
The law is a challenging and rewarding profession, and it can offer excellent career opportunities. To give our aspiring law students the tools they need to succeed, we have developed the Schar School’s Patriot Pre-Law Program (P3). We sponsor events with Georgetown, George Washington University, Scalia Law, and many other schools to give students a broad understanding of the admissions process. Our workshops help students understand the Law School Admissions Test, the grueling standardized exam that often dictates where students can attend law school. We focus in particular detail on the law school personal statement, which many law schools use instead of a face-to-face interview. Finally, we advise students about their best law school options based on rank, cost of attending, specialized programs, and other factors.
Undergraduates who take advantage of P3 will gain an advantage in the highly competitive law-school-admissions process and ultimately in the legal job market.
