Pre-law advisors take on great responsibility often without the resources to achieve the lofty goals set before them. At the UA Little Rock, William H. Bowen School of Law we believe that all prospective students should have access to the resources that can help make them successful applicants regardless of whether they or their undergraduate school have the means to support their goals.
Accordingly, the law school is committed to building relationships with pre-law advisors nationwide to ensure that students and advisors have access to the resources to succeed. In addition to being able to rely on Bowen’s resources, below is a short list of organizations that provide pre-law advisors with professional support. Bowen also hosts the Arkansas Pre-Law Advisor Listserv. Details on the listserv and how to join can be found below.
If there is anything that the UA Little Rock, William H. Bowen School of Law can do to help you achieve your goals, please do not hesitate to contact the Admissions Office at lawadmissions@ualr.edu or 501-916-5431.
