Less Sitting. More Doing.
At Drew, hands-on experiences are must-have, not nice-to-have. Our location, 30 miles west of NYC and midway between two of NJ’s legal centers, Morristown and Roseland, ensures a wealth of prime pre-law internships. We help place students with superior court judges, prosecutors’ offices, local law firms, probation offices, and juvenile courts.
Supportive, Networked Mentorship
You’ll be taken under the wing of brilliant professors. On top of that, you’ll have a pre-professional advisor who will help you prepare for the LSAT, select good-fit schools and submit strong applications. Mentors and advisors can also be great sources for insightful letters of recommendation. What’s more, your professors and mentors will know you as an individual, coaching you through the decisions that will lead to the kind of career that suits you and your personal interests, goals and dreams.
Freedom to Be Yourself
Courses are small and discussion-based—sharpening your ability to analyze, reason and write from your unique perspective. Our Law and Political Science Society brings speakers to campus, organizes mock trial competitions, and helps students learn about the legal profession, politics, and policy. It also publishes an undergraduate journal on law and public policy.
