Pre-Law Advising at Ohio State

The department or college you are in determines who your Pre-Law Advisor is.  These advisors have knowledge of what law schools are looking for in potential candidates and are available to work with students on how best to prepare for law school.  Each advisor has their own process for scheduling an appointment, whether that's via OnCourse, calling the college or department advising office, or via email, so be sure to reach out accordingly.

Ohio State alumni are welcome to utilize most Pre-Law Services resources, including meeting with an advisor.

*Anyone is welcome to meet with a pre-law advisor; you are NOT required to have LAW-PRO as an Academic Plan.  For technical reasons some advisors may require LAW-PRO in order to use the convenience of the OnCourse scheduling platform; in those instances If you do not have LAW-PRO then it simply means you will need to call or email to schedule an appointment.
