Abstract

Experiential learning is at the forefront of pedagogical best practices in undergraduate education. Business schools, which are an increasingly popular choice for future law school applicants, should take steps to enrich the learning experience for these students. Many pre-law programs already implement and utilize successful experiential assignments which should be adopted by business schools. The skills learned in these assignments, which include contract simulations, mock trials, and client interviews, contain components that can benefit both the traditional business student and the law school applicant. By providing opportunities for experiential learning similar to their real-world counterparts, business schools can better position themselves to accommodate the needs of these students.
