Preparing for Law School at SJC:

As noted in the college’s catalog "The Association of American Law Schools explicitly states that there is no definite, preferred major in a pre-law program..." Not surprisingly, therefore, students from a wide variety of majors have entered law school from Saint Joseph’s College.

Students who wish to enter law school should contact either Professor Peter Watkins or Professor Michael Malone. In addition to providing advice about law school admissions, Professor Watkins and Professor Malone supervise a large number of practice LSAT tests which are administered throughout the academic year.

SJC graduates have an impressive reputation with law school admissions offices and have attended some of the finest law schools in the country. Among the schools having recently accepted SJC graduates are:

• Northwestern
• New York University
• Notre Dame
• Indiana University
• Ohio State University
• Harvard
• Loyola (Chicago)
• William and Mary
• University of Illinois
• University of Dayton
• DePaul
• University of Georgia
• St. Louis University
• Loyola (New Orleans)
• John Marshall
• Vanderbilt
• Washington University

Useful sites for students interested in law school are maintained by the Association of American Law Schools and the Law School Admission Council.
