The Office of Pre-Law Advising supports Florida State University students and alumni as they explore legal careers, prepare for law school, and develop competitive applications. Through individualized advising, academic and career planning, experiential learning, and specialized programming, the office helps students make informed decisions at every stage of the pre-law journey.

Preparing for law school involves more than selecting a major or completing an application. Students must develop strong academic records, analytical and communication skills, meaningful experiences, and a clear understanding of the legal profession.

The Office of Pre-Law Advising integrates academic planning and career development to help students:

• Explore law school and legal career pathways
• Build an intentional academic and experiential plan
• Prepare for the LSAT and law school application process
• Develop competitive resumes, personal statements, and application materials
• Identify internships, shadowing opportunities, mentors, and professional experiences
• Evaluate law schools, financial considerations, and application timelines
