Pre-law Advising

Students should consult with the pre-law advisor well before commencing the law school application process. The pre-law advisor, Dr. Philip Benesch (prelaw@lvc.edu), will help you decide when to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and which law schools may suit your interests and qualifications. The LSAT is required for acceptance at American Bar Association-approved law schools. The LSAT is administered six times during the year, and it may be taken at an officially approved test center in Pennsylvania. To register for the LSAT, and for the law school Credential Assembly Service, please follow the steps detailed on the Law School Admission Council website.

LSAT Prep and Application Process

For many, it will be beneficial to take an LSAT preparation course. The Law School Admission Council, which administers the LSAT, has developed a free LSAT prep program in partnership with Kahn Academy. This high-quality program is free for all students. Visit here for additional information. We strongly recommend that before taking the LSAT students complete PHL 280 Logic, a course required for the Law and Society minor.
