Who directs P.L.N.U.’s Pre-Law organization?
Dr. Dwayne Little, Professor of the History & Political Science Department of Point Loma Nazarene University, is the Director of the Pre Law Program. Dr. Little is assisted by Dr. Michael McKinney, Professor of German and Literature, in the Department of Literature, Journalism, and Modern Languages of Point Loma Nazarene University. Dr. McKinney is also a practicing attorney. You may reach Dr. Little at (619)849-2568 and Dr. McKinney at (619)849-2294.

What are the purposes of P.L.N.U.’s Pre-Law organization?
We strive to inform those interested about the wide variety of options in law-related careers, as well as to prepare them for success in those careers. We provide information about law schools, the LSAT, application procedures, the bar exam, placement and practice realities, paralegal training and more. Several PLNU students have served as interns at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Does my major make a difference?
Contrary to popular opinion, virtually any major can provide the basis for a good preparation for a law-related career. The traditional majors (History, Political Science, English) have been supplemented in recent years by a growing demand for graduates in the sciences, business, foreign languages, social sciences and others. If you are thinking about a legal career, you should join us as early as possible in your academic career. Most of our programs are open to freshmen through seniors (though a few will be more applicable to juniors or seniors).
