A Warm Welcome from the Pre-Law Team 

The Pre-Law team at Brooklyn College is determined to see you succeed in your professional and academic endeavors. 

Our Mission Statement 

The Pre-Law program helps achievement-oriented students make informed decisions about  pursuing a career in legal professions; assists them in assessing the academic, personal, and  professional competencies and credentials they need to become successful applicants and  students of the Law Schools they aspire to attend; and provides access to the academic and career  advisement, resources, opportunities, and professional networks that will support them in  clarifying and achieving their goals. 

Qualified and highly motivated participants of the Pre-Law program at Brooklyn College, who have utilized its vast resources, have developed skills such demonstrating incisive and independent intellectual judgment and problem-solving skills, reading and analyzing dense and complicated texts closely, and creating exemplary works of compelling, effective, and scholarly writing.
