The MPRE is a standardized test created by the National Council of Bar Examiners and administered by the Law School Admissions Council. It is offered three times a year, usually in March, August and November. Touro Law Center also offers the MPRE in Central Islip.

Touro’s LAS will continue to offer the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) to Sabbath observers, as it has since June 2011. The fall dates for the LSAT are Wednesday, October 7 and Tuesday, December 8.

The MPRE test is one of two new services that Touro is offering to aid students on the path to becoming lawyers. Professor Tom Rozinski, Touro’s principal prelaw advisor, has also created a Facebook page to assist students in learning about law school and in applying for admission.

Touro’s Prelaw Advising program has had significant success in placing its students in highly ranked law schools. Four Touro graduates are currently attending Harvard Law School, and this fall three will enroll at Columbia Law School. An average of 20 Touro College graduates have begun law school studies between 2010 and 2014.
