Pre-Law at SJSU

Advising

Pre-law advising is housed in the Philosophy Department and conducted by Dr. Étienne Brown and Dr. Rebecca Chan. All students and alumni interested in pursuing a legal career can reach out to Dr. Brown and Dr. Chan to schedule an individual pre-law appointment (see contact information below). They can also be added to the pre-law mailing list and asynchronous Canvas course.

Minor

The Legal Studies Minor examines law as a social institution from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. For questions about the minor, please contact Professor Edith Kinney (edith.kinney@sjsu.edu).

Dr. Brown and Dr. Chan will also be happy to help students pick courses in Philosophy, Justice Studies, Political Science, and Communications which directly relate to legal issues and theory.
