Law schools search for well-rounded individuals who have strong skills in analytical thinking and expression. St. Olaf’s liberal arts curriculum offers excellent preparation for law school, and thus there is no set pre-law curriculum. Those interested in attending law school are advised to pursue a program that strengthens their abilities in writing, reading, speaking, and analysis. Students desiring more information should visit the Piper Center Pre-Law website, which includes short videos about preparing for law school for each class year, first years through seniors.
