Pre-Law Specialization Opportunity: Student Law Club
The Law Club of Saginaw Valley State University was first organized in 2008 and consists of students interested in attending law school, or students interested in law for other careers such as criminal justice and business law. The club focuses on helping students to prepare for legal careers through activities such as moot court, volunteering for the Saginaw County Mock Trial program for high school students, meeting informally with legal professionals and sponsoring law related speakers for the university. Meetings are held bi-weekly.
