about the Pre-law center

"The Pre-Law Center (PLC) serves as a physical point on the UIS campus as an informational resource for UIS and community college students who are considering law school, a career in law, or a legally related field."

The PLC provides counseling and assistance to students contemplating applying to law school related to:

  • Applying to law school;
  • drafting personal statements:
    • deciding what to stress and how to appropriately emphasize strengths and interests,
    • which is part of the law school application process; and
  • LSAT preparation.

The PLC also provides general educational program recommendations and individual counseling for students to ensure that they take the appropriate kinds of preparatory courses to get the necessary background that will better ensure their academic success.
