Pre-Law Preparation
The Office of Pre-Professional Advising and Fellowships helps student from all Adelphi University
majors:
- determine whether law school is the best fit for their goals
- learn about law school and legal practice
- make informed decisions about whether to apply
- develop strong application materials, and
- select the best law school to meet their goals
Law schools want to see students who are able to express ideas with clarity and force. Students must obtain an undergraduate education that includes critical analysis, logical reasoning, and written and oral expression. Students must learn to read works of literature and exposition with comprehension and speed, and should continuously practice argument and debate. An understanding of human values and institutions is a lifetime goal, but the best opportunity to begin this quest is during one’s undergraduate years. Careful study within each of the great divisions of human knowledge—the humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences—is indispensable. Pre-law students must develop the capacity to think creatively. This capacity depends on skills
and understanding already discussed, and also on the ability to conduct research; to reason deductively, inductively, and by analogy; and to synthesize what one has learned.
