Should You Go to Law School?
Philip Nichols, Assoc. Prof. of Legal Studies & Business Ethics
Many people at Penn decide to go to law school. Few of those people ever think seriously about why they want to go, or whether they should. This proseminar offers a chance to explore both of those questions. The proseminar also discusses how to learn about a career in law, when a person should go to law school, and routes or degrees that may offer a better way toward accomplishing specific goals or careers.

Over the last four years, the Compact's vision has thrust Penn forward in increasing access for the most talented students, regardless of socioeconomic background, recruiting and retaining exceptional faculty who integrate knowledge across multiple disciplines, and making Penn a powerful transformational force throughout the Philadelphia region and around the globe.
