<p>Does Vanderbilt have any programs or organizations that help students prepare for law school? That help pre-law hopefuls prepare for the LSAT and stuff? Like a pre-law society or other things?</p>
<p>Yes, there’s plenty of support for pre-law, as there are tons of students planning to go on to law school. Seminars, career events, societies, you name it. I believe you’re even assigned a pre-law advisor at some point. With the Vandy law school being one of the highest ranked law schools and located right on campus, you can imagine that there’s a support/networking available.</p>
<p>Could you name some?
Or better yet, can you link me to a website showing them?</p>
<p>man, matisyahu, you are lazy. just look up pre-law or caspar on the vandy website.</p>
<p>I have looked at it.
There isn’t a list of programs or organizations. Just says that you will be given an advisor.
Can you link me something, since you seem to be an expert.</p>

<p>There are student organizations. I don’t think you’re going to find a list of programs. What exactly are you looking for in an organization? There’s not much more to preparing for law than memorizing LSAT books. The programs are more about internships/networking/advice. The societies are more about socializing constructively.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for something incredibly structured, I don’t think you’ll find it at Vanderbilt. But I’m not sure what an incredibly structured pre-law program looks like, seeing as the only things law schools really want to see is your GPA and LSAT, as well as work experience.</p>
<p>As a lawyer who graduated from a top school, and worked at some big law firms, I would strongly suggest that you think long and hard before going to law school.</p>
<p>There have been scores of posts on CC on this topic. I have posted some very negative posts on this subject, but I have seen posts recently, including today, that have even been more strident.</p>
<p>If you do it, you should be going in with your eyes wide open.</p>
<p>I am basing my advice not only on my own experience, but that of countless other lawyers I know.</p>
<p>My son has super high SAT scores in CR and verbal, and would be a strong candidate for a top law school, but I hope he does not go the route you are considering.</p>
<p>You probably won’t take my advice, but consider yourself warned. I received a similar warning from a lawyer 30 years ago, and pooh poohed it, to my detriment.</p>
<p>If you go this route, you will be swimming upstream, against a very strong current.</p>
<p>You speak wise words.
But I am 12 years old, and I won a gold medal in a state swimming competition. ;)</p>
<p>And thanks for the link Pancaked. I saw it before but I was hoping for some more info.
Thanks again though.</p>
