Hawai‘i Pacific University offers a Pre-Law Program designed to meet the needs of our students seeking a career in law. This Program is the result of careful planning and coordination with law schools from across the nation to maximize a student’s law school choices. Because of the rich complexity of law itself, there is no pre-law curriculum. By majoring in virtually any program a student can be successful in law school.
The Pre-Law Program provides essential advice and guidance to prepare the student headed for law school. Upon enrollment in this program, the student will be matched with a pre-law advisor in the student’s field of study. Under the careful guidance of the student’s pre-law advisor, the student will be mentored in areas such as proper course selection, admission test preparation and application preparation.
The student will also engage in enriching co-curricular activities with the Hawai‘i Pacific University’s Pre-Law Society, a society comprised of both undergraduate and graduate students interested in the field of law. The activities include workshops on preparing for the admissions test, visits from leaders of the industry, and participation in competitive events geared to enhance the student’s readiness for law school and beyond.
