The Pre-Professional Advising Office is here to support UGA students and alumni interested in applying to law school. The Pre-Law Advisor can provide guidance at any stage of your pre-law journey:

  • Exploring your interest in a legal career
  • Planning to apply to law school
  • Actively in the process of applying to law school
  • Determining which law school to attend

The Pre-Law Advisor meets with you one-on-one to discuss your specific situation. The Pre-Professional Advising Office has developed programming to assist you as well. These events occur throughout the fall and spring semesters each school. Pre-Law Advising is available year-round.

We recommend that any interested undergraduate student connects with our office as early as possible. Freshmen are encouraged to meet with the Pre-Law Advisor in the spring semester of their first year.
