Pre-law Advising

Undergraduate Career Services, part of the Center for Career Development located on the 5th Floor of Duncan Student Center, provides advising to all Notre Dame students considering careers in law. In addition to its website, that office sponsors helpful programming throughout the year, both for seniors applying to law school and students discerning their career paths. Please refer to the Undergraduate Career Services website for answers to many of your law school questions.

Additionally, Notre Dame's Pre-Law Student Board offers a robust range of resources and activities, such as workshops on the law school application process and opportunities to attend a class at Notre Dame Law School and meet individually with an NDLS student. View those resources and sign up to be part of the ND Pre-Law Community at Prelaw.nd.edu.

In addition, Professor Tonia Murphy serves as a dedicated Pre-Law advisor for the Mendoza College of Business. Professor Murphy advises current Mendoza students who may be interested in law school, with a goal of helping them make informed decisions. She can provide individual guidance on:

whether law school is the right choice for you;
what class choices will prepare you to be a competitive candidate and successful law student;
the LSAT and application process;
selecting the right law school;
succeeding in law school; and
law careers
