BROOKLYN COLLEGE–Brooklyn College’s Pre-Law Society is breaking barriers by being the first association that focuses on making law accessible to undergraduate students. The society provides students with case studies, mock court cases, and access to schools with some of the best law programs in the tri-state area.
“Our main goal for the Pre-Law Society, just broadly speaking, is for students to have an opportunity to have resources here on campus,” Danish Saleem, the secretary of the Pre-Law Society, told The Vanguard. “Our mission statement reads: We firmly believe that it is important for us to learn how to advocate for ourselves before advocating for others. I see that in the form of attending conferences or asking questions, networking, and going to different events.”
The Pre-Law Society wants to emphasize to students that there are resources and assistance on campus that will provide them with the tools they need to move deeper into their law practices.
“The Pre-Law Society specifically hopes that through our events, whether it is panels that we wanna have or law school/campus visits that we wanna have, or general meetings, and other events, students get the resources that they need to help them navigate this entire process,” Saleem said.
The society wants students to understand that their doors are open to all students, even those whose majors are not related to law in any way.
