Pre-Law Advising

Students at Northeastern interested in pursuing Law School after graduation can get advice and support from the Pre-Law Advisory Committee. All students, whatever their Major, will be able to request a Pre-Law advisor to supplement their Major advising and assist them in their preparation for Law School.

We offer:

Professional advising
Workshops/Speakers
Admissions exam preparation information
Application assistance
National application service information
Pre-professional student organizations

Current students should consider joining the Pre-Law Society which is a student club for pre-law students. Also be sure to also view our Pre-Law Advising Site

The Law School Admissions Council recommends the following NEIU courses (no matter what your major) as ones to take in order to do well on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT):

In Philosophy: Critical Thinking (101) and Logic (201) classes (60% of of questions on the LSAT are reasoning problems).
In English: Argumentative Writing (377) (20% of LSAT is reading and writing comprehension).
In Political Science: American National Government (216) and Constitutional Law (320) (for content area).
In Justice Studies: The Criminal Justice System (201) (for content area)
In Philosophy: Introduction to Ethics (213) (an acute concern of law schools these days); and courses in the Philosophy of Law (PHIL 361C) and in Human Rights (PHIL 361P).
