Prelaw Assistance

Q: I am interested in learning more about admittance to law school and if law school is right for me. Who should I talk to?

A: Students interested in learning more about law school should attend a Prelaw Workshop (see below for dates) hosted by Vanderbilt's prelaw Advisor, Professor Klint Alexander. Whether you are unsure what to do with your transcript from the Universidad de Madrid or you want to know the best tactics to use for your personal statement, this session is for you.

Those students interested in scheduling an individual appointment with Professor Alexander must first attend a Prelaw Workshop. If your questions are not answered during the workshop, please email Joy Nobles, Office Assistant, or call 615-322-2750 to schedule an appointment.
