Introduction
Are you passionate about a cause? Do you want to help others? If your answer is yes, then law school may be the right career path for you. Lawyers work to ensure the highest standards of the law are upheld as they advocate, advise, and counsel those they represent. Careers in law enforcement, government, business, politics, and education are all possible with a law degree.
Carroll University will prepare you for the rigors of law school and a career in the legal profession by helping you grow your skills in communication, writing, and public speaking. You’ll also gain real-world experience through job shadowing and mentoring opportunities. You’ll familiarize yourself with the basics of law in a variety of areas, including business and politics, as you work toward a degree in any area you choose.
All pre-law students receive individual advising sessions to ensure they stay on track as they prepare to submit applications to law school. Carroll's pre-law program offers seminars and workshops that will help you understand the law school admissions process, prepare you for the LSAT and provide chances to meet with admissions staff from area law schools.
