Introduction

What the lawyer wants is authority and the newer the better; what the historian wants is evidence and the older the better.

F.W. Maitland

This web page is intended as an initial guide to the student interested in a legal career. We hope that it will help you to think systematically about career objectives and the means to attain your goals. This pre-law web section is designed to provide students with useful information about pre-law services and information at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Your comments and suggestions for future updates will be much appreciated.

Naturally, not all questions will be covered by this or any other specific publication. For that reason, the pre-law advisor is available to answer questions in appointments and at general public meetings.
