Extracurricular & Leadership Activities

Law schools want to see evidence of leadership skills and community/university involvement in an applicant's resume. Look to get involved with extracurriculars that genuinely interest you. Try to get deeply involved with these clubs or organizations. Take on a leadership role. Sustained and progressive  engagement will strengthen your resume more so than superficial participation in many activities. Your extracurriculars do not have to be legal related. However, it is a good idea to spend some time familiarizing yourself with the legal profession prior to applying.
