Pre-law student organizations

If you plan on going to law school or another professional track after you earn your bachelor’s degree, joining NAU clubs and organizations provides focused networking, leadership, and experiential opportunities that can boost your résumé and career prospects.

Just as importantly, clubs and organizations connect you to issues and events that you care about, as well as friendships outside the classroom that can last a lifetime.
