Removing barriers, advancing dreams
Thanks to the generosity of a Lawrence family, a special fund helps Lawrentians defray the costs of exploring law school, whether it’s supporting an internship, paying for LSAT prep, or application fees.
Pre-Law Outcomes
Just as there is no set path for a pre-law student at Lawrence, there is no one outcome. Whether you go to law school, work in government, or pursue other advanced study, the strong academic foundation of the pre-law advisory program provides a solid starting point.
