Roles and Responsibilities
Pre-law advisors play a critical role in guiding students through what can be a complicated process. This includes providing information about the profession, how to prepare academically for law school, and how to navigate the actual application process with competitive applications, among other responsibilities. The guide below is intended to offer an overview of the tasks that pre-law advisors undertake and a sense of the best practices and expectations. It is not a replacement for ongoing professional development and training, but is instead a starting point for understanding the role.
