PRE-LAW BERNADETTE AGRESTI, Program Director FACULTY: Hon. Stephanie Domitrovich, Atty. Brian Krowicki. Aims and Objectives: The Association of American Law Schools recommends that a Pre-Law Program should be concerned with the development of basic skills and insights fundamental to the later attainment of legal competence. The quality of education called for should include: A. comprehension and expression in words; B. critical understanding of the human institutions and values with which the law deals; and C. creative power in thinking.
