Pre-Law

There is no specified program or major required for entry into law school. University of Kentucky students interested in studying Law should contact the Pre-Law advisors in the Central Advising Service, 109 Miller Hall. The main phone number is (859) 257-3383. A Pre-Law advisor is available to discuss with you your pre-law undergraduate preparation, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and the law school application process.

Suanne H. Early: (859) 257-4755, shearl2@email.uky.edu
Amy Luchsinger: (859) 257-4792, aeluch00@email.uky.edu

Students are advised to obtain the bulletins and visit the web sites of law schools in which they are interested and to familiarize themselves with the admissions standards. The Pre-Law student should develop rigorous study habits, skills in clear and logical communication, and a broad general education. Almost all law schools require that students take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).

Phi Alpha Delta

UK's pre-law chapter of Phi Alpha Delta, a part of the world's largest law fraternity, unites academically talented students who demonstrate a strong interest in pursuing a legal career and increases their awareness of the law profession and the process of being admitted to law school. Three of the main components that law school admissions offers look at are LSAT scores, GPA and community involvement; PAD's main focus is on the success of individuals in all three areas. Programs include lectures by practicing attorneys and current law students, social activities, Law Day, and most importantly, practice LSAT's which are available to all students interested in Pre-Law.
