Aside from being known to many as a very active and large student organization of UNC Charlotte, the Pre-Law Society of UNC Charlotte is also known to foster a diverse set of opportunities for their members. Whether you are a freshman interested in learning more about different aspects of the law or a senior in need of a study group to prepare for the upcoming LSAT, you will find the Pre-Law Society a great resource.
The student-led organization regularly hosts speakers including experienced lawyers, professors, and other legal professionals, which share unique perspectives of the law school application process and the legal field in general.
