Can you imagine poring through legal casebooks to find a detail that could win a big case? Do you love the structure and language of the law? Are you interested in a career where you can defend justice and advocate for clients? Want to learn to think on your feet? SNC will teach you how to think like a lawyer, and help you to take your next steps toward practicing law. Our pre-law program emphasizes strong written and oral communication skills as well as critical thinking — you’ll learn how to craft convincing arguments, and you’ll leave SNC with strong research skills.

Students are admitted into law school from almost every academic discipline, so major in what you love. Law schools look for students with a high level of reading and writing ability, strong communication skills, and the ability to conduct research — all skills that you’ll develop through your coursework at SNC.

If there’s one thing that SNC professors and instructors have in common, it’s a passion for teaching and sharing their expertise. You’ll also find them dedicated to providing personalized guidance that supports your academic and career aspirations. Discover the distinguished scholars you’ll be learning from.

A law degree opens you up to diverse career paths. You can work with families or contracts; you can spend your days defending individuals in court; or, you could represent large corporations in the boardroom. There are hundreds of legal specialities. Whatever your passion, there’s an area of law for you.

Plus, you can do more than practice law with a J.D. degree. Fields like human-resource management, policy, regulatory or compliance work, claims adjustment, consulting and business management all make good use of your J.D. degree. What’s more, the law degree on your application will give you an advantage.
