Posted on by

million_dollar_law_degreeThe UConn Pre-Law Center is excited to host Professor Michael Simkovic, co-author of “The Economic Value of a Law Degree.”  Prof. Simkovic will be speaking on Thursday October 31st, from 12:00PM – 1:00PM in Student Union Room 304B.

The general view is that law school has become an unwise investment. Prof. Simkovic’s research calls that general belief into question. He’ll be discussing his findings on the value of legal education compared to a bachelor’s degree.

Refreshments will be served.

If you have any questions, please let us know!

Spring Semester Internships

Posted on by

Now is the time to start thinking about internships for next semester.  Information about three internships with the State of Connecticut are available at the links below.

You’re not limited to these programs. But they’re a good starting point. If you want to do some other type of internship, that’s great. The key thing is to do something to add to your resume. Internships are hugely important in your law school applications. But they’re even more important in helping you make the decision to apply. Internships can give you a small taste of what it’s like to work as a lawyer. This can change your perspective on law school and the legal profession. It can also help make you realize that this is the right path and get you started on it.

If you can’t do an internship this spring, check out the opportunities anyway. Most also have summer programs.

 

Good luck!
