Pre-law Program

The American Bar Association, the national organization that oversees legal education, recommends that students who are interested in going on to law school "seek courses and other experiences that will engage them in critical thinking about important issues, that will engender in them tolerance for uncertainty, and that will give them experience in structuring and evaluating arguments for and against propositions that are susceptible to reasoned debate."

One of the best ways to do this is through a liberal arts education. A liberal arts education provides students with a broad based education as well as providing them with an essential set of key skills which are critical to becoming a competent lawyer. Some of these skills include the ability to think and read critically, the development of acute listening and research skills, and the ability to express oneself in both an oral and written form in a clear and organized manner. While students can enter law school with any undergraduate degree, two of the more common majors chosen by pre-law students are English and History. These programs, or any Montreat College program, will prepare students well for future careers in the legal profession.
