Carroll has an active law school preparation program open to all undergraduate majors. There is no single curriculum best suited for your preparation to law school. Law schools are looking for three main attributes from their applicants, which can be developed from any major you choose at Carroll. These attributes include analytical problem solving skills, critical reading ability, and effective communication in both written and verbal forms.

Admission to an American Bar Association accredited law school depends on academic success, an acceptable score on the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test), and extra-curricular activities. The Carroll Pre-Law Society is a student-run organization that meets monthly for social events, hosts on-campus interviews with regional law schools, sponsors law school visits and offers LSAT preparations courses for the December and June LSAT test dates.

Pre-law students also participate in Carroll's competitive Mock Trial Team, a member of the American Mock Trial Association. At regional tournaments, competitors demonstrate proficiency in all aspects of trial: opening statements, direct, cross, summation and testimony. In 2008, the team took seven top-10 finishes at the National Undergraduate Diversity Mock Trial Competition held April 5-6, 2008, at John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Ill., earning $33,000 in law school tuition waivers.
