How Do I Prepare for Law School?

There is no "pre-law" major at UC Davis, and according to the American Bar association (ABA), there is no one major or set of courses that best prepares a student for law school. However, the ABA has identified some of the skills and qualifications necessary to be successful in law school. Based on this information, the pre-law advisor has created a limited list of classes from the current UC Davis catalog that develop these skills and background. Again, there are no required pre-law classes; these are just suggestions and there may be many other classes not on the list that could be helpful.

Advising Services provides pre-law advising, and to stay apprised of pre-law workshops and information, you're encouraged to sign up for the pre-law listserv by sending an e-mail to listproc@ucdavis.edu. Leave the subject line blank, and in the body of the e-mail write: subscribe pre-law-advisor your name, e.g. subscribe pre-law-advisor John Smith.

Also, consider applying for inclusion in the King Hall Outreach Program (KHOP) or the Pre-Law Boot Camp!
