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, right up to the completion of law school applications. The members serve as auxiliary advisers to prelaw students, particularly in assisting students with their personal statement essays.

Throughout the school year, mailings are sent from this office which invite registered prelaw students to group meetings, workshops, panel discussions and lectures. These activities are structured to inform you about law as a career as well as to support your efforts to prepare for law school.
