Radford has a variety of resources and programs to help students decide if law school is right for them. If law school is right for you, we can also help you develop strategies to achieve admission to the law school of your choice and to succeed in law school once you enroll.
Radford has many opportunities for you to attend pre-law events featuring judges, admissions officials, and current law school students.
The most important factors in law school admissions are your LSAT and GPA. No particular major is required. Take courses that you will like and do well in. Get to know your professors, so you鈥檒l be able to get strong letters of recommendation. Take the lead on campus that shows results during your college years.
Law School generally takes three years during which students learn to reason and argue like attorneys. Law school can be extremely expensive but also very rewarding for the right people. Inform yourself during your undergraduate years by attending pre-law events, interning in a legal office, taking pre-law classes, and other means.
Consider reading Scott Turow鈥檚 book One L on his first year at Harvard law school. It鈥檚 a classic. Susan Estrich鈥檚 How to Get into Law School is a great primer with lots to think about.
