Resource Center
Useful information regarding law school can also be found in the Career and Graduate Study Resource Center, located in Room 114 South Hall. This resource library contains law school information bulletins, LSAT preparation course information, law school minority program and many other reference materials.

Law School Information Day
The Law School Information Day (LSID) is a gathering of law school admission representatives who are available to meet with UC Davis students. Usually held in November, the program gives students an opportunity to speak with law school admissions staff from over 60 U.S. law schools and pick up brochures and/or information bulletins.

Shadow Program
Interested undergraduates may "shadow" a UC Davis law student by attending a law school class with him or her. Law students may also give undergraduates a tour of the UC Davis Law School, library, and discuss the day to day life of a law student. This is a great way to get a taste of what law school might be like.
