Last Tuesday, Elizabethtown College’s Office of Career Services held its first Pre-Law Night event in Leffler Chapel and Performance Center. Elizabethtown College’s  Pre-Law Club and Pre-Law Advising also sponsored the event.

The event primarily focused on providing pre-law students with  information about law school applications and options. The event also provided an opportunity for current students to socialize and network with representatives from several law schools in the northeast U.S.

Pre-Law Night featured three law school representatives who visited campus to present admissions advice and information to Etown’s pre-law students. The three law schools represented were Seton Hall Law in New Jersey, Widener University School of Law in Pennsylvania and Delaware and New England Law-Boston.

After they presented information about the LSAT, personal statements for law school applications and other topics, the law school representatives then invited students to ask any questions related to applying to law school or legal careers in general.

Following the panel session, a catered meal allowed students and the law school representatives to connect for another hour.

The Pre-Law Advising Program is a means of guidance for Etown students who are planning to attend law school. Through the program, students can ensure their coursework aligns with their plans, receive assistance with applications to law school and attend events like Pre-Law Night.
