Pre Law Minor

The prelaw minor is designed to help students prepare for careers in law by taking selected courses and by working with a prelaw advisor. Prelaw preparation may be accomplished from a variety of majors. Following the recommendations of the American Bar Association and the leading law schools, Gordon does not offer a prelaw major but encourages broad, rigorous preparation in the liberal arts. Advisors will counsel students in the minor with respect to selection of appropriate law schools and opportunities open to law school graduates. Contact Dr. Timothy R. Sherratt or Dr. Mark Gedney.The nature of law and legal analysis has always had a close connection to philosophical thinking and reasoning. The American Bar Association and leading law schools recommend that undergraduates pursue broad, rigorous preparation in the liberal arts. The pre-law program will equip you with skills necessary for success in law school and beyond, by introducing you to the philosophy of law, constitutional law, formal logic and economics---all while you still receive a broader liberal arts education.
