Many students who plan to enter the law field first earn a bachelor's degree in the liberal arts-in subjects such as English, History, Political Science, Economics, or the sciences. At C.W. Post, these degrees equip students with the outstanding research, writing and critical thinking skills that are necessary to pass law school entrance exams, and to gain admittance into law school.

If you plan to earn a law degree, C.W. Post's Pre-Law Advisement Program can help you select the most appropriate courses to ensure a strong foundation for success in law school. You will learn what law school involves and what it is like to work as an attorney. Once you have decided that law school is the right choice, your program advisor will help you investigate various law schools so you can make the best application choices. You will also receive support in preparing for the Law School Admissions Test and in applying for law school admission. Every student receives individual attention, both from the program director and faculty. Many C.W. Post students succeed in gaining admission to law schools in both New York and around the country.

Internships and Career Planning

C.W. Post's nationally recognized Professional Experience and Career Planning (PEP) office organizes internships that allow you to earn money while exploring the law field. The PEP office holds career fairs and seminars to discuss the range of internships that are available to those in our Pre-Law Program. In the area of law, typical opportunities include internships with Federal District Court judges, Nassau County officials, law firms, and even legal publishers. These internships often result in valuable recommendations to accompany law school applications.

Club for Law Students

Students pursuing careers in law will be particularly interested in C.W. Post's Pre-Law Association. This student-run organization, for those planning to enter law school, brings in speakers from the legal world, organizes networking events with practicing lawyers, hosts admissions counselors from various law schools, and provides a support system as students prepare for the LSAT and go through the law school application process.
