The Pre-Law Club at KSU is a one-stop shop for any student interested in working in the legal field. It is dedicated to supporting and assisting students throughout their process of applying to law school. The club helps with the two major factors in law school acceptance: LSAT score and a personal statement.
They provide a prep course for the LSAT on campus, as well as a workshop and experienced advisors on hand to help with writing a personal statement for law school. The club also sets up panel discussions for anyone to sit in on where law students, paralegals and other professionals involved in a legal career answer questions about getting into the field. Club officers present predetermined questions as well as open up the floor to attendees to ask their own questions. The next panel discussion will be on April 23 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Clendenin Building, room 2008.
Looking to the future, the club plans on expanding its network to help students. As the club continues to grow, it will eventually be able to help students find internships and establish connections with those in the field.
The website is a resource for those looking into a legal career. The page has a variety of resources and links available to anyone that can use them.
Such links include a law school search, info on multiple legal careers and contact info for KSU’s law school adviser and legal minor staff. The site is also a great place to learn more about the club officers and to find dates and locations of upcoming events.
“If you’re interested in going to law school, come out and see what we have. It’s absolutely free!” said Will Mostellar, Social Media Chairman. “The club was founded last spring and is certainly looking for as many new members as they can get.”
Anyone can be accepted into the club, regardless of their major. In fact, it is the club’s goal to bring together a diversity of students with the common interest of a legal career.
The only requirements for maintaining membership status are to attend two meetings and to give two hours of service to the club by chalking sidewalks or handing out flyers.
The next general club meeting will be on April 8 and will be located in University Rooms C, D, and E from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Anyone is welcome to sit in on the meetings.
“Even if you decide not to join, it’s a great group of people and you may learn something new,” said Mostellar.
