Legal education and a career in law can be very challenging and satisfying. In addition to books on reserve at the library that can help you to explore this question, we encourage you to talk to lawyers, law students, judges, law school admissions officers, and Career Center personnel, to give you further insight as to whether a career in law is right for you.
