Pre-Law Advice at the College of Charleston

X. Acknowledgements

The Pre-Law advising information contained here has undergone many revisions in the past fifteen years. Since its conception as a brief printed brochure where an optimistic adviser had 100 copies printed hoping to answer frequently asked questions (before FAQ was a commonly referred to acronym), each successive printing or revision has seen 100 copies. Now of course there is no such thing as a printed copy at all.

Many individuals have assisted and made relevant contributions. Among them are, in alphabetical order: Andrew Abrams (J.D., Acting Provost, College of Charleston), Judith R. Archer (J.D., University of South Carolina), Eileen M. Baran (Special Assistant to the Senior Vice President for Student Affairs, College of Charleston), John Benfield (Director of Admissions, University of South Carolina School of Law), James A. Berry (Director of Admissions, University of South Carolina School of Law; retired), Hon. Robert S. Carr (U.S. Magistrate Judge), Randall M. Chastain (Professor of Law, University of South Carolina; retired), Denny Ciganovic (Director of Career Services, College of Charleston), Eugenie G. Comer (Assistant Professor of English, College of Charleston; retired), T. Steve Gibson (Director, Center for Student Learning, College of Charleston), Marsha Hass (Professor of Legal Studies, College of Charleston; retired), Samuel M. Hines, Jr. (Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Charleston), Earl O. Kline (Emeritus Professor of Political Science, College of Charleston), Harry M. Lightsey, Jr. (former President, College of Charleston; former Dean, University of South Carolina School of Law), William A. Lindstrom (Vice-President for Enrollment Management, College of Charleston), Alex M. Sanders, Jr. (former President, College of Charleston; former Chief Judge, South Carolina Court of Appeals), and Gerald L. Wilson (Senior Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences, Duke University). Some editions and printings were paid for by the Department of Political Science at the College of Charleston, others by Undergraduate Studies at the College; the sixth edition was funded by the Political Science Club and Pre-Law Society of the College of Charleston. Various faculty and graduates--too numerous to mention--of the University of South Carolina School of Law, the College of Charleston, and elsewhere have read and commented on this brochure. I would also like to acknowledge the Southern Association of Pre-Law Advisors, which evolved as an organization in the mid-1980s, the members of which have been instrumental in encouraging this project.

Trace Pupke designed the web site; Elaine Montambeau designed the graphics. Mike Brill taught me how to revise the contents.
