If you want a career that touches almost every area of our social, political and professional lives, then discover the tremendous advantages of the Pre-Law Advisement Program at St. John's University.

Jobs for lawyers are expected to grow by 13 percent over the next decade. But competition will be fierce, from admission to respected law schools to securing the right jobs. Our Pre-Law Advisement Program gives you an edge, with extensive activities and mentoring by professors who are not only respected legal scholars but seasoned legal practitioners as well. Students in the program also benefit from the resources of St. John's University's widely respected School of Law.

Since there is no such thing as a "pre-law curriculum," advisors guide you in choosing courses and activities that build the skills, knowledge and confidence that law schools prize. Each year, St. John's graduates earn admission to America's top law schools. One reason is the high quality of St. John's more than 100 academic programs in the arts, sciences, business, education, pharmacy and allied health. The other reason is our pre-law advisors, who know the courses, experiences and activities you need for admission to law school — including St. John's nationally ranked Mock Trial Team.

We invite you to explore the Pre-Law Advisement Program at St. John's by learning about our objectives, resources and faculty. Also contact us directly — and be sure to ask for our Pre-Law Handbook, which covers everything from deciding to become a lawyer and legal specialties to choosing a law school and the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).
