Preparing for Law School

Students desiring to enter law school should have an undergraduate course of study that gives them a broad liberal arts background and that includes some intensive work in a selected field. Lawyers must have an ability to communicate easily, accurately and persuasively; to gather evidence and to sift and weigh facts; to think creatively; to solve problems; and to understand people. It is therefore important that students seeking to enter law school have a mastery of English that will enable them to read rapidly with good comprehension and to express themselves concisely and completely both orally and in writing.

Applicants for admission to the Chase College of Law must have an academic record of sufficiently high caliber to demonstrate capability for the study of law.

Additional information on pre-law studies is contained in the Official Guide to ABA Approved Law Schools published by the Law School Admission Council in cooperation with the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. Copies are available at college bookstores, libraries or through Law School Admission Council (LSAC).
