Prelaw Advisor (Paperback)

Paperback. Interested in law school? How should you prepare? What courses should you take? What law schools should you apply to? Finding answers to these and many other questions can make preparing for and applying to law school a difficult and complicated process. Getting experienced advice helps to make the process manageable. Using a question and answer format, Tim Hagle, a Political Science professor at the University of Iowa, responds to the questions most frequently asked by prelaw students. Professor Hagle is a past member of the State Bar of Michigan and was a co-author of a test preparation book for the LSAT. In Prelaw Advisor, Professor Hagle draws on his personal experiences, those of lawyers and former students, and over 30 years of prelaw advising to help readers prepare for and get into law school. Prelaw Advisor covers a wide range of information that will help to guide those interested in law school from the first semester of college (or even the end of high school) through graduation and into law school. Topics addressed include "hard advice" on the rigors of law school and the legal profession, the types of courses that provide a solid preparation for law school, the value of extracurricular activities and internships, how law schools evaluate applicants, and factors to consider when choosing a law school. Prelaw Advisor addresses the questions most important to those interested in law school and contains a wealth of information that will help prelaw students navigate the process of preparing for and getting into law school. The updated and expanded second edition includes information on the new digital LSAT, as well as the LSAT-Flex. Two new appendices include comments on information law schools are required to provide to the ABA and links to the bar passage rates for many states. This item is printed on demand.
