These aims are actualized in a number of ways. Discussed films and books Engaged in detailed discussions of contemporary legal issues. We invite speakers to come in and talk with us about what it is like to go to law school and what it is like to be a lawyer. Each year we visit at least one law school and sit in on an actual law school class. This gives students a real idea of what they are facing.
Students can also sign up for internships with local lawyers or with the district attorney's office.
These experiences also provide valuable insights into whether being a lawyer is something that they really want to do. The Prelaw Society schedules a practice LSAT experience once each semester. Over the course of several years students become familiar with the exam and they know what to expect. This helps them to increase their score. A number of the prelaw students have been trained as mediators and they volunteer with the Alamance County Dispute Resolution Center.
