Pre-Law Guide: Introduction

As the Pre-Law Advisor for Williams students and alumni, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you. If you plan to enroll in law school immediately after graduating from Williams, or plan to attend law school in several years, I look forward to exploring these options with you.

During the fall semester, a number of law schools schedule information sessions at the Career Center. You can meet with the law school admissions officers, learn more about the qualities of each law school, and present them with any questions or concerns that you may have. If you want to receive e-mail messages about upcoming events related to law, please register for the law listserve on our Route 2 system via the WCC website.

If you are planning to apply to law school in several years, you should attend these information sessions. It will be more difficult for you to have in depth discussions with law school admissions officers once you are working full-time.

In order to help you with your research, WCC has resources available to you in the WCC library and on the WCC website. You can search for summer internships or full-time jobs in law related fields on our WCC web link to our Route 2 System, or under the Law, Government and Public Policy links.

Please feel free to schedule an appointment with me throughout your time at Williams. I look forward to meeting with you.
