There is no "pre-law" track at Stanford. Law schools welcome all majors, so seek courses/majors that you find intellectually exciting. As long as your major requires you to write well and to develop critical thinking skills, you can become a strong applicant.
## Pre-Law Academic Advising at Stanford
Kathy Wright and Rebecca Curtin, the Stanford Pre-law advisors (located in Academic Advising on the first floor in Sweet Hall), are available to provide information and advice in response to your pre-law advising inquiries at any point in your undergraduate career and throughout the application process.
Pre-law advising resources include one-on-one appointments, law-related programming, informational visits from law school deans of admission, group advising, personal statement review, strategies for preparing for the LSAT, choosing where to apply, advice on when to apply, taking a gap year, etc.
*All Pre-law academic advising services are available to current Stanford undergraduate students and alumni of Stanford undergraduate programs only.*
**We have developed a Pre-Law Canvas site (current Stanford students and Stanford alumni only). To be added to the site, please submit this**[**sign-up form**](https://forms.gle/CjUw6v8gZLDV9SDZ9)**.**
