Starting from this year, PAD has its own Pre-Law Advising team! As a Temple University Pre-Law student, you can book an appointment with Professor Hakun, Lydia Deardoff, and Matilde Valente.
Professor Hakun is an excellent resource if you have specific questions about the Law School Application process or need feedback on particular components of the application.
If you are a freshman, sophomore, or an upperclassman who is considering Law School but still has a lot of questions and doubts, our Pre-Law Advising Assistants are there to help you navigate the process!
Schedule an appointment or find out more through our Canvas page!
