About

At the Center for Pre-Law Advising we provide advising and programming for UW-Madison students and alumni (no time limit!) at all stages in the process of considering, preparing for, and applying to law school. We also strongly advise all Pre-Law undergraduates to work closely with their academic/major advisor(s) on course selection, degree completion, and engaging broadly on and off campus (including in your academic departments!). Additionally, undergraduates have a range of important career development resources available to them through their school/college Career Services units, the campus-wide Career Exploration Center, and via specialized units such as the International Internship Program. These additional Career Services units can assist you with needs such as broader career exploration, internship search support, and resume and cover letter assistance.

In CPLA, we support advisees to strategically explore careers in the legal profession, consider experiential learning and networking opportunities, prepare for the LSAT, plan for gap years, develop law school applications, and decide on where to attend law school.
