About Pre-Law Advising

Pre-Law Advising at the University of Connecticut supports students and alumni exploring law school and legal careers through one-on-one advising appointments, drop-in hours, and guidance from trained peer advisors. We also keep students and alumni informed through regular newsletters and offer events throughout the year—including panels, workshops, and law school fairs—to help them learn about the field and navigate the application process with confidence.
