Discernment Cohorts & Reading Groups
For many students, the law Pre-Law pathway through college can feel disconnected and uncertain. Our vocational discernment cohorts are designed to bring students together for regular meetings that provide them with a community committed to their growth in character and professional formation.
First-Year Cohort: Concepts of Law & Justice
This discussion group uses a series of hypothetical cases to explore different ways of understanding the concepts of law and justice.
The first year cohorts meet weekly for four weeks. The Fall cohort kicks off on September 11.
Reading Group: Bringing Ben Home
In the Spring, we will be joined by Ben Spencer and author Barbara Bradley Hagerty for a speaker event about the fight to redeem American Justice.
Hagerty’s book Bringing Ben Home recounts the story of Spencer’s wrongful conviction and the advocates, who, for decades, worked alongside him to see it overturned. The book provides a grounded, thoughtful reflection on the pursuit of justice and the habits of character it necessitates.
The group will meet weekly for four weeks, with sections beginning on October 6 and October 7. Each participant will receive a free copy of the book.
Workshops
Personal Statement Workshop
The Personal Statement is one of your best opportunities to help a law school understand why you want to be a lawyer. It should provide a concise and well-written snapshot of your self-understanding as an aspiring advocate. In this workshop, students will develop and refine their personal statements with the help of the Director of Pre-Law, WFU Law Admissions Professionals, and other WFU Faculty!
Best to accommodate our students, two sections of the workshop will be offered. Each section will meet once a week for four weeks, with one kicking off on September 8 and the other on September 9.
