These are classes recommended to help you prepare for the LSAT and law school. They are not law-related classes. These classes can expand your vocabulary and critical thinking skills, which is important for law school. ANY class that requires you to write logically, demands concise analysis of issues, and asks you to develop your analysis beyond a recitation of facts will be useful. Not every class is offered every semester or every year; please check with the department offering the course.

*No one class is required to apply to law school, these are simply suggestions. Many are only offered once in a while, some are special topics, others are offered every semester, some fall only/spring only, etc. Some of these courses have prerequisites or are only open to people in certain majors or departments, or may require permission numbers. These courses are merely suggestions that might help you to gain some background knowledge about the law and legal processes.
