Tentative Set-up For A Starter Prelaw Program Menu prelaw students through the political science Department all students interested inlawrelated careers. as guest speakers public attorneys, judges, law school http://www.arizona.edu/academic/prelaw.html
Extractions: Cumulative GPA is very important in the admission decision. To be a competitive applicant for a good law school, you should strive for a 3.50 GPA or higher. However, a lower GPA is not necessarily an obstacle if you have other outstanding qualities. Grades are often considered in light of the nature and difficulty of the academic program which you have selected. The score earned on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is weighed as heavily as GPA in the admission decision. This is an aptitude test which should be taken toward the end of the junior year or the beginning of the senior year (12 to 18 months prior to the date you plan to begin law school). Ask the prelaw advisor about classes or study guides that will help you prepare for the LSAT. Other factors are less important in the selection process but may be critical to distinguish among equally qualified applicants: Work experience, leadership roles in campus organizations, and community service.

Additional Info Features At Alfred University, the pre-law program is centered around quality advising to all interested students rather than a prescribed curriculum: this is because law schools, unlike medical schools, do not dictate core prerequisite classes for admittance. Law schools seek students who have strong reasoning and communication (written and oral) skills as well as an understanding of what shapes human experience A number of majors at Alfred University can effectively prepare students for law school, with proper advising. Some majors pre-law students have chosen in the past are: English, business, engineering, history, philosophy, psychology and political science. Alfred University graduates have attended law school at the following: Harvard University, Cornell University, Georgetown University, Case Western, University of Richmond, University of Colorado, University of Buffalo and SUNY Albany. Students who indicate an interest in pre-law are assigned to one of the four pre-law advisors in addition to their major advisor. Working closely with both advisors, students tailor their education to best prepare them for law school. The road each student takes will be as unique as the different reasons students have for pursung a law degree. However, certain common threads are present in the advising process:

Extractions: http://icpac.indiana.edu/careers/career_profiles/100162.xml.print Job Description Summary: Probation officers help legal offenders adjust to life in the community. The goal of probation officers is to protect the public. They assist offenders who have suspended sentences. Parole officers are similar to probation officers and do many of the same tasks. One of the main differences is that their clients were released from prison. Both probation and parole officers help their clients return to useful lives. They provide services to offenders and their families and help prevent future crimes. Before offenders are released, probation officers develop plans for them. To do this, they talk to judges and lawyers to learn about the offenders' problems. They talk to family members to find out family and individual needs. When they meet with their clients, they inform them of the conditions of their release. For example, clients usually are required to have regular meetings with their probation officers. Sometimes they must make payments to the victims of their crimes. They often must work or attend school. Probation officers also arrange for services for their clients. They may help them find jobs or housing. They may help them obtain medical care or counseling. They may help them enroll in school. Probation officers may also assist their clients with minor legal difficulties. In addition, they provide guidance about problems in daily living. Probation officers must be aware of community resources so they can make useful referrals.

Extractions: Careers in Law Rules by which society governs itself are called laws. Such rules originated with the dawn of civilization. They began as simple tribal laws, passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Eventually they developed into formal written rules known as laws. As the population increased, society became more complex and the laws needed to govern it also became more complex. As a result, a need arose for persons to interpret the laws. We call these persons lawyers or attorneys. A lawyer's work deals with all aspects of social, economic, political and personal life. Therefore, the variety of practice in the field of law is practically unlimited. To become a lawyer in Missouri requires a great deal of dedication and education. A prospective lawyer must first obtain a college undergraduate degree, then score highly on a Law School Admission Test to be accepted into a law school accredited by the American Bar Association. If accepted to an accredited law school, the person wishing to become an attorney must successfully complete 88 hours of graduate study leading to a Juris Doctor degree. During this time, applicants also undergo a character investigation. After graduation from a law school, the prospective lawyer must pass a bar examination administered by the Missouri Supreme Court's Board of Law Examiners. The person desiring to become a lawyer then takes the oath of office and is issued a license to practice law by the Missouri Supreme Court. With the oath, the new lawyer becomes subject to the Rules of Professional Conduct, which are rules of ethics vigorously enforced by the Missouri Supreme Court. A violation of these rules can cause the lawyer to be suspended or disbarred from the practice of law.
