Is there a professor who has been particularly helpful to you?
I have had Professor Danny Hall for three classes now and he has been particularly helpful during my time at Ole Miss. He really challenges me as a student and works hard to prepare us for law school by having us draft legal documents and making us think like a lawyer would.

Why is your department a special place?
The legal studies department is a special place to me because it is where I found my passion and helped me get involved on campus. Being an ambassador for both the school of applied science and for pre- law, I can now share my experience with prospective students. Another thing I love is that I have always felt comfortable going to my advisors and professors here in my department because they all have the experience and knowledge to help me with whatever I need.

What are your 3 favorite things about your major/department at UM? (keep these short and brief).
Some of my favorite things about my major is that most of my professors are already lawyers or teach at the law school which is super helpful.
Another great thing is that the department is constantly having events, speakers, and panels of professionals from all over come recruit and educate students interested in their fields. Lastly, the legal studies department does a great job of offering LSAT prep sessions and courses for those pursuing law school so you are adequately prepared for the process.
