Preparing for Law School

Boston University students interested in pursuing a law degree and a career in law have many advantages. At BU, we offer numerous curricular pathways that allow students to concentrate on their own interests while developing the necessary skills for law school. We also have developed a comprehensive system of advising, programming, and other resources to assist students in every step of their law school preparation.

To be a “pre-law student” at Boston University is to be on a pathway of preparation, investigation, exploration, and reflection. “Pre-Law” is a self-designation, there is no formal process to declare this at BU.

Law school and the practice of law can be exciting, challenging, and rewarding. In this section, take the time to investigate whether the study of law and the legal profession are the right fit for you!
