Legal Professions Program (LPP)

Westminster College has historically graduated a significant number of students interested in careers in law and related areas. To support the undergraduate preparation of these students, the College has created a Pre-Law Minor as well as the Legal Professions Program (LPP) coordinated by Dr. John Langton. Students in legal studies and related career fields are encouraged to contact Dr. Langton at their earliest opportunity to obtain academic advising and pre-professional support. Dr. Langton is assisted by the Pre-law Advisors who work closely with students, advising them regarding their academic programs, administering practice Law School Admission  Tests, and writing committee letters of recommendation to law schools. A special concern of the advisors and the College is that Westminster graduates who become lawyers be able to view the system of law in its historical, political, and philosophical context.

Students planning to attend law school are urged to join Westminster's chapter of Phi Alpha Delta, the international law fraternity, to complete the Pre-Law Minor, and to take, as juniors, Westminster's LSAT prep course.
