Creative power in thinking Courses in which students analyze and solve problems rather than simply learning information help to develop this skill. The program includes an internship and is jointly administered by the Department of Sociology and the Political Studies Program. The Department of Business and Economics offers two courses designed to acquaint students with the substance of the law as it affects the conduct of business. Many law firms hire students on a part-time basis as messengers or office assistants. Information on these jobs can be obtained from the pre-law adviser.
Students can also get exposure to legal careers through volunteer internships.
In the past students have gotten experience at the North Carolina Supreme Court and other government agencies as well as in private law firms. The test is divided into five 35-minute sections. There is one reading comprehension section, like the SAT, and three sections which test logical analysis. The fifth section consists of possible questions for future tests and does not contribute to your own score. Although this section is not scored, it will be sent to the law schools you applied to.
