Pre-Law Preparation

The Faculty Pre-Law Committee assists students who would like to consider pursuing a career in the law.  Students with such an interest should meet as soon as possible with Professor Scott Himsel, the Pre-Law Advisor (himsels@wabash.edu).  The Pre-Law Program includes the following components:

• information sessions at the beginning of each school year to introduce the Pre-Law Program;
• an annual Moot Court competition with attorneys serving as tutors and judges;
• courses using legal cases or other law-related materials in Political Science, Rhetoric, Philosophy and other departments;
• Sophomore Prelaw Interviews;
• a bootcamp to help students prepare for the Law School Admission Test (the “LSAT”);
• assistance with law school applications and selection;
• visits to campus by attorneys who speak about the practice of law;
• the annual Peck Lecture by an eminent lawyer and the Peck Dinner, where students network with alumni lawyers and the College confers student prelaw awards;
• on-campus presentations by law schools seeking to recruit Wabash students; and
• trips by Wabash students to visit law schools.
