In Their Own Words
Choosing a law school is an important and difficult decision. So we have gathered a group of Brown Alumni that have been in your shoes and they have shared their real experiences at top tier law schools.
Our Events
The majority of Pre-Law Advising events and programs are offered during the early stages of the application process in the fall term. These events are open to everyone but would be especially informative for seniors and alumni who are currently applying to law school and juniors who plan to apply in the near future.

June 10. How Does the LSAT Fit Into My Law School Application? The LSAT is an integral part of law school admission. But why? For starters, studies have consistently shown the LSAT to be the single best predictor of first-year law school success, even better than undergraduate GPA. As the only admission test accepted by all ABA-approved law schools, the LSAT provides valuable information to prospective students on how prepared they are for law school, where they may want to apply, and what skills they may want to work on. How much weight do law schools put on an LSAT score? And how much weight should you put on an LSAT score when deciding when and where to apply?
Join us for an engaging conversation with experts on the LSAT, admission, and the law school experience as we unpack these important questions. We'll walk you through what the LSAT is, how it fits into a law school application, and what your score tells you — and doesn't tell you — about your chances of getting into law school. Register via the LawHub's "How Does the LSAT Fit Into My Law School Application?" RSVP website.

June 22. Should I Retake the LSAT? The LSAT® is the only admission test accepted by all nationally accredited U.S. law schools, along with law schools in Canada. Studies have consistently shown it to be the single best predictor of first-year law school success, and schools rely on it as part of their holistic admission processes, with some also using it in their scholarship and financial aid decisions. For these and other reasons, some people take the test multiple times to try to improve their score.
Join us for a webinar designed for anyone thinking about retaking the LSAT. We'll explore what retaking the test could mean for your application, how law schools view applicants with multiple LSAT scores, and strategies to help you improve your performance. Whether you're looking for a higher score or just want to make an informed decision, this session will provide the guidance you need to move forward confidently. Register via for "Should I Retake the LSAT?" via LawHub.
June 25. A Primer on Private Student Loans. As changes to federal student loan programs take shape, private student loans are likely to play a larger role in financing legal education. This session will provide a foundational overview of private student loans - what they are, how they differ from federal loans, and where they fit in the future of law school borrowing strategies. You will learn about key factors like credit requirements, interest rates, loan terms, and the importance of careful lender comparison, so you can make informed, strategic borrowing decisions.
Attendees will receive an entry into the annual MAX by AccessLex® or MAX Pre-Law by AccessLex® Scholarship Drawings. Register for this event via AcessLex’s “A Primer on Private Student Loans” registration link.

We hope our conference will be an inspiration to aspiring law school applicants, current law school students, and young practitioners as they embark on their legal careers.
