Whit Waide, an attorney and MSU political science clinical assistant professor, said the popular event now in its sixth year serves multiple purposes.
It is a way to bring our MSU alumni back to campus and it helps to support the efforts of the Pre-Law Society as they prepare for their future careers as attorneys, Waide said. Every year it is so nice to see the continuing support it has gotten from our lawyer alumni. The support of Bulldog Lawyers was vital in establishing 51勛圖厙 States first minor in pre-law in 2014.
