Pre-Law

Wofford’s pre-law program holds workshops and activities throughout the year aimed at preparing students for law school admission. During Interim, the college’s pre-law program facilitates internship opportunities as well as a class in which students move beyond the classroom into the courthouses and offices of judges, public defenders, solicitors and private attorneys across the Southeast. In addition, the pre-law program includes seminars that assist in the law school application process and regular talks on different aspects of the legal profession.
