The UIC Pre-Law Society: A Student Organization
The UIC Pre-Law Society is a student-run organization that is open to
any UIC undergraduate student who has an interest in attending law
school or pursuing any law-related career. The organization is a forum
for students to learn about law, legal education, the practice of law,
and law-related coursework; to share their concerns and interests; and
to serve as a resource for each other.
The Society’s activities include the following:
- Arranging informational sessions offered by UIC faculty and
other speakers on many topics of interest to pre-law students,
including the Law School Admission Test and how to prepare for it;
the law school application process; how to write a personal
statement; careers in the law; what lawyers do; and others
- Sponsoring law-related campus speaking events
- A get-together at the annual Law School Forum in Chicago, where
representatives from the nation’s law schools make themselves
available to pre-law students
- Administering self-graded practice LSATs so that students can
identify their strengths and weaknesses and prepare effectively for
the real test
- The Society’s listserv,
prelaw@uic.edu, is used to distribute information and
announcements concerning a wide range of law-related activities
taking place at UIC and nearby, including:
- talks by scholars;
- undergraduate courses dealing with law and courts;
