Mission Statement
The Pre-Law Honors Society of the University of Illinois seeks to provide activities and opportunities that will facilitate the needs and wants of pre-law students who have achieved high honors at the undergraduate level. Through such activities, we strive to further educate members on the requirements and preparation needed to enter a law school as well as any legal profession.
One of our main goals is to create a productive and supportive environment for students who are interested in the study of law, as well as to provide them with various resources regarding the law school application process. In doing so, PLHS offers its members various opportunities to be further explored at their own interest.
