Winding Down the Spring
the Spring semester wound down, pre-law society members gathered for a laid-back get-together to escape the stressful process of finals. With games, puzzles, and pizza, we reflected on the year that’s gone by, and thought to the future.
To kick off the evening, we enjoyed food, conversation, and plenty of fun. Four activity tables featured exciting games like Hot Topics, Pictionary, Uno, and Imposter, creating the perfect atmosphere for everyone to connect and enjoy the night.
We also did a bit of role-acting in a very light version of mock trial, which may lead to a more robust version in a future semester.
We finished the evening with some photographs in front of celebratory decor.
Ramping up for the Summer and Fall
The end of the semester also prompted some planning for future events, and this included plans for a summer pre-law conference, visits to a law school over the summer, an extensive workshop for law-school applications, and a study course for the LSAT.
Planning has also begun for the fall, with the semester schedule outlined:
- September 2: Game Night
- September 16: “How to Get Into Law School,” featuring law-school deans
- October 21: District Attorney Will Durham
- November 18: Texas Special Prosecution Unit’s Simulated Voir Dire
The fall will also bring a Mock LSAT, a resume workshop, Moot Court, and a handful of guest speakers, making it one of the more robust semesters in memory, giving members good reasons to stay involved and prepare for the future.
