Get a head start on Law School
The Florida State University College of Law has joined forces with the Honors Program to create a professional-track program available, on a highly competitive basis, to a small number of motivated honors students. Both incoming first year students and current honors students may apply. Honors Legal Scholars benefit from becoming a part of the College of Law community while earning their bachelor's degrees.
Honors Legal Scholars gain experience and knowledge through volunteer and educational activities as well as social gatherings. They are given pre-professional advising, meet with professors, observe classes, and shadow current College of Law students. Students in the Honors Legal Scholar program become eligible for automatic admission to the Florida State University College of Law upon completion of the prerequisites of the program.
Eligibility
In order to apply to this competitive program, students must either be admitted as freshmen to both Florida State University and the University Honors Program OR be currently enrolled University Honors students in good standing.

- First-time in college freshman admission to Florida State University AND
