Why Participate in the 法律系的 Program at Wilkes?
Wilkes 大学’s 法律系的 Program provides you with personalized advising to guide you on the path to law school and a law career. No matter your major, you can gain advice on course selection, preparation for the Law School Achievement Test (LSAT), and assistance with law school applications.
You’ll be advised to take courses that stress reading comprehension, analytical and logical thinking skills, and government and law. You’ll be encouraged to learn the “case method” approach as taught in courses like Criminal Law, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and The Constitution in the Federal System.
Due to the intricacies of certain programs or requirements imposed by professional and graduate schools or external accrediting agencies, Wilkes has named advisors in special areas of interest. The council includes Kyle L. Kreider, coordinating pre-law advisor, political science; John H. Hepp, history; Lawrence Kuhar, 英语; and Brian E. Whitman, Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences.
