| Welcome

The UMass Amherst Pre-Law Advising Office provides students and alumni with a full range of information and options counseling regarding the
law school application process.
We can
help you decide whether to go to law school, which
schools you should apply to, how to prepare
for the LSAT, and how to finance your
legal education. We also offer one-on-one assistance in drafting personal
statements and other application addenda. We can also give you advice on how to obtain persuasive letters
of recommendation. Finally, the Pre-Law Advising office is responsible
for processing the Dean's Certification letters required by some law schools.
Your first source for information should be this website, where you will find an array of information on most topics
related to the decision to attend law school (see links at right). You should also bookmark or subscribe to the UMass
Pre-Law blog for announcements about workshops and panels on
topics relating to law school and the practice of law, law school open houses, scholarship information and
other law-related news.
If you don't find the answers here, or if you need personal assistance, please email us at prelaw@acad.umass.edu. We can discuss your questions via email, in person, or during a phone appointment. Please note that during the Fall semester, priority for appointments goes to students
and alumni who are currently applying to law school.
