Prelaw Advising Committee

Students and alumni interested in applying to law school should work with the UNH Prelaw Committee in preparation for applying to law school. Prelaw advisors are available to assist students in any number of areas related to law school admissions: major and course selection, preparation for the LSAT, selecting prospective law schools, and the online application process. Register with the Prelaw Committee to receive direct emails about our special events, guest speakers, and important deadlines. Participation in the events listed on the homepage is strongly encouraged.
