It’s always a good idea to register further in advance if possible to ensure a reservation for your preferred test location. LSAC is reporting a shortage of seats for some testing locations at this time:
Notice for June 2008 LSAT Registrants
Due to limited center availability, registrants for the June 2008 LSAT may be placed on a wait list at the time of registration. LSAC staff is recruiting new June centers and will place registrants in test centers as close to their requested centers as possible and as soon as such space becomes available.
We plan to place all registrants for the June 16 LSAT in test centers. In some cases, registrants will be notified within a few weeks of their registration. However, for others it may take longer, up to three weeks prior to the test date. An email notice will be sent to registrants once they are placed at a center. (Link)

Pre-Law Updates
Hello everyone and welcome back! Hope you’re excited about the new semester! I wanted to mention a few Pre-Law related things and some other matters of interest to undergraduate students at UB.
First of all, take a look at the workshops offered this semester. Pre-Law workshop listing can be found at http://prelaw.buffalo.edu/workshops. Please note the upcoming UB Law School Informational session for February 13th. If you are interested, please RSVP to me by February 10th. If you are interested in a general overview of what Pre-Law is all about, nothing is better than the Law School Application Process workshop on February 20th. For those of you who are looking to write your Personal Statement for your law school applications, Perfecting the Law School Personal Statement workshop, taught by Professor Charles Carr of the UB Law School, is a wonderful start. There are two sessions of these available, on March 5th and March 26th.
You can register for these workshops, as well as find other workshops of interest to you, by going over to http://workshops.buffalo.edu.
Also please note the KAPLAN workshops listed for this semester. They have a Test Strategy session this upcoming January 28th, and an LSAT Practice Test on February 16th. If you are interested in learning more about their services or finding out about other Pre-Law related events, you can contact them at (716) 636-1882 or stop by Suite 201 in The Commons.
“Managing your Academic Plan”, “Time Management”, “Study Skills”, “Financial Aid information”, and “Choosing a Major” are just some of the workshop topics offered by Student Advising Services this semester. Strong study habits lead to a healthy GPA, which is critical for success in your applications to law schools. (More about these workshops can be found at http://sas.buffalo.edu/workshops/)
Please tune-in to the Pre-Law Web site regularly for Pre-Law information (http://prelaw.buffalo.edu). Also, please take advantage of the helpful information found in the Student Guide categories. You can also use the IM window found on that page to contact me about a quick question you might have, or follow the contact information to make an appointment.
Career Services is another very important resource on campus (http://ub-careers.buffalo.edu). Wayne Porterfield in Career Services can help Pre-Law students learn more about careers in law, can help with resume questions, and much more. Please visit their Web site to find out how to best contact Wayne.
A great way to stay up-to-date on Academic Advisement information is the ever helpful Be Advised Newsletter (http://advising.buffalo.edu/beadvised/). Learn about important academic advisement dates and deadlines, helpful reminders about upcoming workshops, and other highly-relevant information (up there right now is a very good post about important dates to be mindful of this semester. I’d recommend you print that out!).
