From their first day at Millsaps, students have access to high-quality pre-law advising; throughout their college careers, students have numerous opportunities to determine whether law school is right for them. Through our Pre-Law Society, students interact with alumni in legal careers, attend workshops on the law school application process, and help each other prepare for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Through Mock Trial, students develop their oral communication skills through simulated courtroom exercises; our Mock Trial team recently won Honorable Mention at the AMTA Regional Tournament in Jackson.
Through opportunities for self-directed research, students demonstrate to law school admissions committees that they have the discipline and stamina for a fast-paced legal career. Indeed, as the flagship liberal arts college in Mississippi, Millsaps helps students develop the core competencies that law school demands: analytical reasoning, critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and confidence in both oral and written communication. We stand by our pre-law students – and we support them every step of the way.
