Students interested in admission to law school are free to major
in any subject they choose. Because no single major is preferred for
entry to law school, the University provides advisement and
information about law school admissions through the Pre-Law
Advisement Committee. The Committee’s members come from
different disciplines across campus, so students have a choice of
advisors. The Committee is a member of the Northeast Association of
Pre-Law Advisors and regularly receives and circulates information
from the American Association of Law Schools. UD students enjoy a
rate of acceptance into law school that is higher than the national
average, according to figures released by the Law School Admission
Council.
The Career Services Office provides information on internships,
summer job opportunities, and volunteer opportunities in the legal
profession, and sponsors an annual Law School Fair, usually held in
September. There is also an active Pre-Law Student Association,
which sponsors field trips and guest speakers.
For more information, consult the Advisement Committee’s
bulletin board on the third floor of Smith Hall or the Pre-Law web
site at www.udel.edu/prelaw. Questions may be addressed to
Committee Chair Professor Leslie Goldstein, 458 Smith Hall,
telephone (302) 831-1931, or by e-mail to committee advisors listed
at the pre-law web site.
