President’s Remarks:
The Pre-Law Society of Central State University was founded in October of 2005. The purpose of the Pre-Law Society is in its mission statement: “To successfully transition the Central State University student into the legal profession through a holistic approach of scholarship, service, and moral principles.”
Pre-Law Society Members are expected to be ethical, diligent, and committed to making a change. Any mission of change, however, comes first through proper preparation and preparation takes hard work. We expect the very best of each member and nothing less.
As such, our group is designed to give you the very best as you prepare for law school and beyond. Currently, the Pre-Law Society is advised by four attorneys with extensive legal experience in the areas of criminal law, corporate litigation, educational law, and corporate law.
Please contact us to learn more about our organization. We invite you to be with the best to become the best.
