Alumni Perspective
"At Lawrence I learned to question what I see and how to convey information in a succinct and effective way. I learned how to work with people of diverse backgrounds. These skills are the pillars to my work investigating discrimination in education."

Explore law careers in your own community
Work in the public defender’s office, the district attorney’s office, municipal courts, and more right here in Appleton to gain practical law work experience.
Removing barriers, advancing dreams
Thanks to the generosity of a Lawrence family, a special fund helps Lawrentians defray the costs of exploring law school, whether it’s supporting an internship, paying for LSAT prep, or application fees.
Pre-Law Outcomes
Just as there is no set path for a pre-law student at Lawrence, there is no one outcome. Whether you go to law school, work in government, or pursue other advanced study, the strong academic foundation of the pre-law advisory program provides a solid starting point.
