OUR MISSION
The Pre-Legal Honor Society is an organization aimed at orienting undergraduate students with the legal profession and law school. We hope to achieve this through meetings in which we will hear speakers from the legal community, engage in community service projects, disseminate internship information, learn about law schools, and engage in other pre-law activities.
Pre-Legal Honor Society offers a variety of events and opportunities that prepare students for applying to law school and entering the legal field, and enhances their undergraduate experience as a pre-law student.

Learn more about how PLHS helped these members succeed! "PLHS has had an immeasurable impact on my education and career path. I found multiple opportunities and developed numerous skills that helped me perform better in my classes, prepare for law school applications, and make a decision about which law school was right for me." -Sydney Leifermann "As a first-generation college student, it was really difficult for me to understand the intricacies of the legal career and where to begin. Through my involvement in PLHS, I learned everything I needed to about the law school application process, the LSAT, and made meaningful connections with professionals in the field and students just like myself." -Anokhi Patel "After getting involved in mock trial, I fell in love with the community and PLHS made me certain I wanted to be an attorney by providng all the resources to make the decision, build a network, and apply to law school." -Alexandra Quintana "Serving as the President of PLHS provided me with a community of pre-law students that I could rely on in and out of the classroom. PLHS allowed me to explore my interests in the legal field and strengthen my own leadership skills before I entered law school." -Sharon Shenderovskiy "PLHS is not just an organization; it represents a community of individuals driven to make a difference in the legal field. Pre-Legal Honor Society's commitment to student well-being, leadership development, civic engagement, inclusivity, and community building made a significant impact on my journey to law school, and will continue to do so for other students in years to come." -Jordan Blum
