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.

The pre-law program, 39 hours, includes the following:

In addition, it is recommended strongly that pre-law students take Political Science/History 244, the Law, Justice, and Culture Institute offered every May-term, plus core, major, and minor requirements.
