Hello everyone and welcome back Pre-Law Students to the Fall 2008 semester!
I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. Mentioned below are some important resources to be aware of as well as information about workshops and other events. The Pre-Law Web site at http://prelaw.buffalo.edu will have additional info regarding Pre-Law events happening in-or-around campus. The front page of the Web site is in Web log format so be sure to check back regularly to get the most up-to-date information regarding everything Pre-Law at UB.
Attention New Students!
Be sure to carefully review the Pre-Law Student Handbook contained in the right margins of the Web site. Here you will find an overview of how to prepare from the very beginning to be a solid applicant to law schools, with an overview, a timeline, a detailed overview of the application process, financial aid, how to get involved, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and Law School Admission Council, frequently-asked-questions, and additional resources. I recommend all students with an interest in Pre-Law to tackle these pages to get a solid overview of what it takes to pursue a degree in law.

Please review the available list of Workshops by clicking on the Workshops tab at the top of the page.
Scheduling Pre-Law Appointments
You can make an appointment by calling 645-6013 or stopping by 109 Norton Hall on North Campus. The main office staff will be happy to setup a time that will be convenient for us. I encourage new students to come in to introduce themselves and get an overview of Pre-law services at UB.
The week of August 25-August 29 is WALK-IN ONLY. No appointments can be scheduled for the first week of classes. Please sign up in 109 Norton Hall and wait there for the advisor. Please consider reserving detailed questions for a scheduled appointment the second week of classes.
