Center for Pre-Law Advising

Welcome!

The Center for Pre-Law Advising (CPLA) seeks to help increase access to as well as equity and diversity within the field of law by providing excellent advising, programming, and other career development resources to all UW-Madison students and alumni – no time limit! We serve advisees at all stages of the process of considering, preparing for, or applying to law school.

CPLA is co-located with the Center for Pre-Health Advising in suite 205 Middleton Building on Campus.

Feeling stressed out by the law school application process? We recently had UHS join us for a workshop where they shared helpful advice for anyone feeling the mental and emotional impact of putting together law school applications.  While it is framed in the context of writing personal statements and addenda, we feel it is a helpful 30 minute recording for anyone feeling the emotional toll of going through this process.

Looking for drop in advising? Looking for drop in advising? Remote Drop-In Advising has concluded for this semester. Drop-ins will resume in Fall 2023. Please schedule an appointment with our office via Starfish for current students or by email at information@prelaw.wisc.edu for alumni.

Are you a current or incoming freshman? Future attorneys major in all areas and all schools & colleges at UW-Madison!
