Pre-law students should work with the Prelaw Committee in preparation for admission to law school. Prelaw advisors are available to assist students in any number of areas related to law school admissions: course selection, preparation for the LSAT , selecting prospective law schools, and the admissions process, to name a few.  Register with the Prelaw Committee and receive direct emails about our special events, services, and important deadlines.  

To sign up: Visit, email, or call the Prelaw Advising Office, and give your full name, and email address to:
Paula DiNardo, Prelaw Advisor, 106 Hood House 603.862.3485.

The Prelaw Committee also sponsors a number of programs designed to acquaint students with the many facets of law as well as informational meetings and guest speakers intended to assist students in the pre-law advising program. For example, we visited Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, NH, and were able to meet with admissions staff, faculty, and UNH graduates now enrolled.  Participation in these events is strongly encouraged.
