Moritz College of Law information session

I attended a meeting where Micheal States, the Assistant Dean of Admissions at the Moritz College of Law, spoke on law school. This event took place on November 20th and fills the academic category for International Affairs. Micheal began by sharing what Moritz has to offer, including numerous clinics that teach skills such as mediation, which is a vital skill for lawyers to have as mediation is imperative in keeping cases from going to court. I also learned that they offer courses ranging from Food and Drug law to War Crimes Law; alongside from their unique course offerings, Moritz is unique in that other than in one’s first year, which is a set curriculum, students pick their own curriculum. Aside from simply law school course information, Michael offered tips on applying to Moritz. Specifically, finding a professor who can speak to your growth throughout college, keeping your GPA up as they have competitive admissions, not worrying about taking the LSAT a few times to get a higher score, and utilizing the extra and “not required” essays to provide more insight on oneself outside of their resume. On the point of GPA, he explained that no major makes Moritz look more favorably upon a candidate and that they don’t take into account the difficulty of one’s major when evaluating their GPA. Summatively, as someone interested in law school, this information session was incredibly helpful and insightful into law school as a whole and specifics regarding Moritz.
