WELCOME TO PRE-LAW ADVISING!
It’s never too early to start the process. The Office of Pre-Law Advisement provides one-on-one guidance to students (and alumni) from the time they begin to consider a career in the law until they matriculate in law school. Students are encouraged to meet with the pre-law adviser at least once per semester to map out their courses, learn of internship opportunities and in their later years, draft their personal statements and complete their law school applications.
It is also important to get involved on campus and beyond. Law schools like to see applicants who are actively engaged in their undergraduate institutions and their communities. The Pre-Law Office provides information about Pre-Law internships, volunteer opportunities and Pre-Law events. An important first step for participating in these programs is to sign up for the pre-law listserv. In order to do so please visit https://lists.yu.edu/mailman/listinfo/beren-wilf-prelaw,
I look forward to working with each of you throughout your undergraduate experience. My office is located in Furst Hall, Room 110. Please stop by to introduce yourselves or to schedule an appointment. I look forward to meeting you.
Best,

***LAW SCHOOL APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
Most schools accept applications from September- March on a "rolling basis." It is therefore advantageous to apply early. Aim to have your application competed by Thanksgiving for it to be considered "early" and by Jan. 1 to still be competitive.
