OUR BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE
The Pre-Law Society at The University of New Mexico was originally created by four students in the Fall of 2019. Seeking guidance, and help getting the new student organization up and running, they spoke with a former law school recruiter and law admissions committee member for help on what students at UNM needed to know as they apply to law schools. This is how the Pre-Law Society at UNM was born!
Over the last three years, the PLS at UNM has hosted (in-person & virtually) local, regional and national law schools during events promoting application help, LSAT prep, admissions protocols and more in hopes of providing UNM students interested in law school with a starting point for their application process. This also includes an annual law school fair held in the Fall semester. Since it's beginning, the Pre-Law Society at UNM has received $4.8 million worth of scholarship offers from graduate programs and law schools around the globe!
