This page is a new forum where students and faculty in philosophy can share information about preparing for law school. I thought it would good start by posting some links to helpful information.

Law Services: http://www.lsac.org/

This link is to the web site of the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC). This is the single most important web site for applicants to law school. The LSAC is the non-profit organization that administers the LSAT and runs the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). In order to apply to any law school approved by the American Bar Association one must take the LSAT and register with the LSDAS. Do not register with the LSDAS until the academic year during which you are applying, e.g., in fall of '05 to begin law school in the fall of '06. At this site you can register for the LSAT, subscribe to LSDAS, and order a variety of LSAT preparation tools, legal education books and law school application software.

Admissions page of Jurist
http://www.lsac.org/

JURIST is the Internet's legal education portal, the university-based academic gateway to authoritative legal instruction, information and scholarship online. JURIST is edited by a team of Net-literate law professors from law schools across the United States and around the world. It's designed for people learning, teaching or researching law - legal scholars, law students, law librarians, lawyers and judges, journalists, and interested citizens.

Pre-law page of the Internet Legal Resource Guide http://www.ilrg.com/pre-law.html

The Internet Legal Resource Guide (ILRG) is comprehensive resource of the information available on the Internet concerning law and the legal profession. The link above will take you its prelaw page, where you will find numerous links to information on law schools, LSAT preparation, application strategies, rankings, and pre-law guides from various colleges.

Pre-law page of Hieros Gamos: http://www.hg.org/studentprelaw.html

Hieros Gamos is an even more comprehensive legal research web site than the ILRG, with links to sites for law schools, law firms, bar associations, legal journals and much, much more. The link above will take you to their pre-law page, where you will find links similar to those on the Internet Legal Resource Guide.
