Prelaw Advising
Clark University's Career Services Office helps students choose, and gain
acceptance to the right law school.
Prelaw advising is a highly individualized process. Typically, the Director of Career Services serves as prelaw adviser along with faculty members of a Prelaw
Advisory Committee. He can assist you in tailoring an individual approach to the law school application process.
The adviser communicates with law schools and has access to information such as application, acceptance and matriculation rates
that may be useful when planning an application strategy. Career Services handles the
Dean's recommendation letters for Clark University law school candidates.
Please contact Career Services for Prelaw appointments with the Director
of Career Services, David McDonough, 508 793-7258.
The Prelaw Advisory Committee is comprised of faculty and administrators and guides students throughout their years at Clark,
