Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive model for prelaw advising programs intended to enhance student readiness for law school and foster broader access to legal education. Recognizing the multifaceted challenges faced by prelaw students, the proposed model integrates academic preparation, personal skills development, career exploration, and strategic advising, providing aspiring law students with a holistic foundation for success. The model was developed through a mixed-method approach, combining a review of best practices in existing advising programs, in-depth analysis of recent research on legal education, and qualitative interviews with current law students and prelaw advisors. This multi-dimensional methodology allowed for a grounded understanding of the unique needs of prospective law students and the practical demands of law school. Key findings suggest that institutions implementing this advising model may significantly improve student preparedness, confidence, and retention rates, creating a more diverse, resilient, and well-equipped pool of future law school applicants. This adaptable framework aims to provide a replicable model for educational institutions dedicated to bridging the gap between undergraduate education and the professional rigors of law school.
