Undergraduate Edition 2016-2017

Interdisciplinary Pre-Law, Minor

Interdisciplinary Pre-Law

Students planning to enter law school should be aware of the recommendations of the Association of the American Law Schools, which describe the basic skills and insights it believes are fundamental to legal competence: (a) comprehensive ability and expression in words, (b) critical understanding of human institutions and values with which the law deals, and (c) creative power in thinking. Although no single course of instruction is prescribed by the American Bar Association, pre-law students (in consultation with pre-law advisors) are urged to follow the designed pre-law curriculum. This program will facilitate the student’s ability to think clearly, concisely, independently, and persuasively.
