PRE-LAW
Charles J. Emmerich, J.D., LL.M., director
Law schools generally require a college degree from an accredited institution. During
his or her undergraduate education, the pre-law student should generally pursue a
liberal arts education and should complete a rigorous major and a minor. The pre-law
program is not itself a major. Majors usually chosen by pre-law students include
political science, history, philosophy, English, communication arts, and business.
Students with more specialized interest in law may pursue a different major. Although
Trinity does not prescribe a single pre-law program for all students who aspire to
attend law school, Trinity does recommend that pre-law students enroll in courses
chosen from the list below. The faculty adviser and the pre-law director on campus
assist the student in planning the undergraduate program and in applying for
graduate study.

| ACCT 221 |
