Advising
Individual counseling of our students is the cornerstone of our advising system. It is available on a regular basis throughout the school year.
Our Director, Dr. Tony Cashman, has been the Director of Distinguished Fellowships and Graduate Studies since 2008 and took over the Prelaw Program in July 2023. Tony earned his PhD. in Italian Renaissance History from Duke University and has taught at Holy Cross, Valparaiso University, Assumption University, and Harvard University.
Services
We offer many services to both our undergraduates and alumni seeking to study law.
Preparing an application strategy, developing a personal essay, choosing to study law (or not), financing one's graduate education and preparing for the law school admissions test (LSAT) are topics frequently discussed. Group presentations are given each year to students at different levels about law study and the admission process.
