Pre-Law Orientation on Monday, Jan. 28 at 4:00 in Room 514 of the Illini Union Bookstore Building (807 S. Wright St, Floor 5). This orientation is for all students who are new to pre-law. What does it mean to be “pre-law”? What can students do to maximize their undergraduate education to ensure success in law school and beyond? How can students further explore legal jobs and education? We will cover all of these topics and more, and answer questions about what skills, courses, and experiences pre-law students can be seeking during their undergraduate years. Please RSVP online at http://illinois.edu/calendar/list/2508 so that we have enough seating and materials for everyone. Freshmen must attend an orientation prior to setting up an individual pre-law advising appointment.
Thanks for helping us share this information with interested students!
