During the past 10 years, Pre-Law Day at UNF has grown from a handful of participating law schools to more than 30 in number. All 9 law schools in the state of Florida attend UNF’s event, and law schools come from as far away as Massachusetts, New York, Michigan, and California. The Pre-Law program co-sponsors Pre-Law Day with Career Services.

Pre-Law day affords Pre-Law students the opportunity to meet one-on-one with various representatives of a number of law schools and learn about the law school admission process, financial aid, and preparation for the LSAT. Each year, the number of students attending Pre-Law day has grown. Last year, several hundred students attended the event.
