Purpose:

  • Vets in Law provides aspiring veteran and military-connected law students with access to affordable pre-law advising and support.

  • We focus on helping first-generation, low-income, and enlisted veterans navigate the complex application process.

  • Our program facilitates a comprehensive veteran-to-law school pipeline by building a strong community and establishing mentorships with current student veterans at law schools.

Assist Veteran Students With:

  1. What to focus on for the LSAT
  2. How to choose a law school
  3. What application materials are needed
  4. What to expect when you start law school
