The Pre-Law program at Adrian College prepares students for success in law school and beyond through a broad-based liberal arts education that emphasizes critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and persuasive communication.
Future lawyers benefit from an education that is both wide-ranging and intellectually rigorous. Rather than following a single prescribed path, students are encouraged to choose a major that sharpens their reasoning, writing, and problem-solving abilities. These are skills essential for legal study and practice.
From the start of their undergraduate journey, students are encouraged to meet with Professor Nathan Goetting, Director of the Romney Institute for Law and Public Policy (ngoetting@adrian.edu), to design a personalized academic plan. Through this individualized guidance, students learn about the many resources available to pre-law students and build a strong foundation for law school admission.
The Pre-Law program provides the flexibility for students to pursue their own academic interests while cultivating the key competencies valued by law schools: the ability to write clearly and persuasively, to think critically and logically, and to analyze complex issues with precision.
With these skills and a tailored plan of study, Adrian College’s Pre-Law students are exceptionally well prepared for law school admission and future careers in the legal profession.
