Pre-Law is in part a curriculum designed to give students the best possible undergraduate preparation for the study of law. Students preparing for a legal career must develop excellent skills in oral and written communication, critical thinking and have a broad understanding of the development of American social and political institutions.

Students are encouraged to join the Pre-Law Student Association, talk to lawyers, professors and advisors and to possibly enroll in an internship while an undergraduate student. Students are also encouraged to make arrangements with the University of Alabama School of Law for a tour of the law school or to sit in on a law school class. Pre-Law is also designed to help students prepare for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). All students planning to pursue a legal education are required to take the LSAT. Intensive prep
