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.

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.

Internships

You can contact Christine Bautista at christine.bautista@sjssu.edu in the Career Center for help finding internships for pre-law.
