This is a busy year if you are headed to law school.  Though most of the work on your actual application will be done in your senior year, this is the time you need to be preparing and taking the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).

In addition to planning for the LSAT in your Junior year, you should:

• Think about who you will ask to write letters of recommendation for you. A good combination is two professors who have taught you and another person who knows you well outside the university, such as an internship supervisor or employer
• Take on a leadership role in an organization in which you have been active
• Meet with the Center for Career Development to update your resume
• Investigate possible internships for the summer in law-related areas (Legal Aid, state or federal legislature, state or federal politician, corporation, Connecticut Judicial Branch, etc.)
• Attend the UConn Law School Fair, generally held in mid-October. Speak with representatives from schools that interest you.
• Consider attending the larger LSAC Forums in either Boston or New York
• Meet with a pre-law advisor
• Become a research assistant or complete an independent research project with a faculty mentor.
• KEEP YOUR GRADES UP
