During the student s senior year, the Pre-Law Advisory Committee members can help students decide where to apply for law school. The Committee members also assist students with the application process, including reading drafts of the student s personal statement. Since the personal statement is a critical component of any application, it must be written with great care. These activities are designed to give students a better understanding of law school and the practice of law. These meetings provide a forum where Pre-Law students can meet each other, get answers to their questions about law school, the application process, and the profession itself.
