About Us

What is the Pre-Law Coalition?

Founded in partnership with five other pre-law organizations, the Pre-Law Coalition (PLC) collaborates with both student groups and university-run entities to support all pre-law students, whether they’re applying to law school or just starting their legal journey. The legal journey doesn’t have to be taken alone—UCSD offers a vibrant pre-law community ready to connect with you.

What does the Pre-Law Coalition do?

We host a biannual “Meet the Orgs,” a collective tabling event where students are given a space to explore all of the pre-law institutions on campus and find community and resources that best fit their needs, along with various mixers, networking nights, and special collaborative events with other organizations throughout the year. On the back end, we coordinate with these pre-law organizations to find new ways to best serve the student body.

How can I get involved?

Unlike most student-organizations, the Pre-Law Coalition doesn’t have a traditional student body. Instead, we create, promote, and collaborate with other pre-law institutions to host pre-law events focused on professional development, legal scholarship, and formal and informal networking. Be sure to check out the student organizations that make up the Coalition and keep an eye out on our calendar for upcoming events!
