New Jersey Colleges for Pre-Law

Pre-law is not often offered as a major or minor in colleges. Students looking toward law school can major in just about anything in which they excel. Pre-law students must have strong skills in analytical problem solving, communication, critical reading, organization, public service, research and writing. Working closely with pre-law advisers at the college or university ensures student success.
