How will you use your legal education?

While law schools don't offer traditional majors found in undergraduate education, you can still specialize in a specific area of the law. Exploring your career options and finding a path that fits your career goals is a critical part of law school. You can learn about the vast number of practice settings and specialty areas in the law through:

• Experiential learning opportunities, such as clinical work, field placements, pro bono opportunities, and externships
• Summer and school-year positions
• Building relationships with your professors, mentors, and alumni
• Participating in professional development programs and practice panels
• Joining bar associations and participating in mentor programs
