We want to help you achieve your goals.

The Pre-Law Team consists of Donna Sharpe and Megan McConnell from UAA Advising and Mary Tillotson from Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity Counseling Services.

Our mission is to teach UW students and alumni how to make informed decisions about law school.

Getting help with pre-law

Begin with our online information sessions. If you are thinking about law school and want to know more about the whole process, Exploring Law School is for you. Before watching it, review the related worksheet. Afterwards, thoughtfully answer these questions and submit them to us in the form of a Word document.

If you are getting ready to apply or are actually in the process of applying to law schools, view Law School Applications 101, read the questions in the related worksheet and submit your answers to us in the form of a Word document.

After we have received your submissions you will be contacted with information on how to set up an appointment with a pre-law adviser. In the meantime, be sure to check out the wealth of information available on this website.

Please note that due to limited resources, advising appointments are only available to matriculated UW-Seattle students and alumni. We look forward to working with you!

If you have questions after viewing either session you can email us directly at plawhelp@uw.edu (be sure to include your name and Student ID number).
