Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Law is nothing if not reading.  Think you can catch everything in a phrase or know when words are signaling important concepts?  Can you tell if someone has broken the law just by skimming the text of the law?  Join us for this interactive and mentally engaging workshop as we explore and figure out what it means to read for detail (aka "close reading") using the socratic method, an improbable fact pattern, and a touch of absurdist humor.  Must be willing to talk - sitting quietly in the back doesn't work in law school and won't work in this session.

Pre-Law 201 Workshops are open to all Ohio State students, all years, all majors.

For second-year students this event counts as a STEP Professional Development Co-Curricular (PDC) - go to the STEP website to pre-register (required for STEP PDC credit)

For all other students including second-year students who are not seeking STEP credit, go to Handshake to pre-register (recommended but not required).
