Undergraduate pre-law education must prepare prospective law students for the challenges of law school and the law school admissions process.

First, it briefly summarizes how we arrived at this problem in the U.S. Then, it examines the problem today in the U.S. and comparatively in European nations. Finally, it closes with recommendations for establishing treatment outside …
