Pre-law at ESF

The ESF pre-law program helps students understand the opportunities in environmental law and develop a law school application package that demonstrates to law schools their true potential. The program is based primarily on individual pre-law advising between the student and Dr. Robert Malmsheimer, ESF’s Pre-law advisor.

This website is designed to provide ESF students with some of the information they need to know to attend law school. If you are a student considering attending ESF for the undergraduate degree you need before you can attend law school, click HERE.
