Welcome to the Pre-Law Club!

The Pre-Law Club helps to prepare members interested in attending Law School by immersing them in a learning community environment with like-minded students on campus who are taking steps to prepare and apply for Law School Admissions. Members of the Pre-Law Club during the 2023/2024 school year will become more familiar with other students on the Pre-Law track at ISU, while also gaining experience from within the club to add to their Law School applications. The Pre-Law Club will also attempt to prepare members for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) by sharing opportunities for free practice exams, preparation course listings, preparation tools, sample questions, and activities. Pre-Law Club will also have year-long volunteer experiences, LSAT study sessions with other Pre-Law students, and opportunities to find internships and other means to develop members’ Law School Admission applications. The Pre-Law Club emphasizes inclusivity, networking within the club, and becoming comfortable both with Iowa State and with law school applications. As well as preparing for more than just the prospect of law school through its various activities, social events, leadership opportunities, and more.
