What is the Pre-Law Club at A-State?

The Arkansas State University Pre-Law Club was formed out of the passion of a dozen students with a dream of making law school a reality for countless Arkansans. With the help of Dr. Laquita Saunders and Dr. Kevin Unter, the Pre-Law Club held its first meeting on October 25th, 2006. It wouldn't be long until the club made a big splash around campus with philanthropy, field trips, moot court trials and more all planned in its first year.

On Wednesday, March 12th, 2008, the Arkansas State University Pre-Law Center held its grand opening in Wilson Hall room 207-A. Nearly a decade later and the club now resides in the beautiful Phelps & Womack Pre-Law Center (HSS 3027). To this day, the Pre-Law Club tirelessly uses its resources to provide access to legal careers for all Arkansas State University Students.

Lawyers must be good researchers, strong orators, and logical thinkers. Together, these skills are vital to being a successful law student.

One thing to know when applying to law school: grades matter. That is why choosing a major that you will enjoy is important. A major that engages your interests will be a major that you perform well in.
