Hello,

I am a freshmen at a medium sized state school, where I am a part of the honors college and in a public policy cohort program. My major is Environmental Studies, and I have increasingly become more interested in pursuing a career in environmental law as the year has gone on.

Besides the obvious things, such as joining my school’s Pre-Law Society, I am wondering if there are any other steps I should take to get a leg up in pursuing law school at this stage in my educational career. Would it be particularly advantageous to try out for my school’s mock trial team, or would it be more important to pursue leadership positions in the groups I am already a part of? What else could I do to increase my chances of being a good candidate for law schools in the future - just looking for any and all advice.

Thank you!
