Law school preparation
In Kappa Alpha Pi, we provide numerous opportunities that help prepare our members for law school, beginning with the big question: is law school really for you? Following the Leadership Development Program, which helps members hone the necessary professional skills to advance their careers now and in the future, we offer at minimum three events and workshops for members every semester to further prepare them for law school. These events include round-table discussions with Deans of top law schools, workshops on the law school admissions process. In addition, members will gain access to helpful resources including LSAT Prep Courses and our extensive alumni network.
Leadership and Professional development
A member’s first semester in Kappa Alpha Pi consists of the Leadership Development Semester. In this Semester, members are led by the Professional and Leadership Development Chairs through various lessons and activities that fine tune their interviewing skills, perfect their resumes and cover letters, develop their public speaking, learn professional etiquette, and more. The professional and leadership skills learned in this semester are invaluable regardless if one continues into the field of law or not. After this semester, members will have access to various networking and professional opportunities in which they can use these newly-learned skills to get started on their careers.
Fraternalism
As Kappa Alpha Pi greatly aids each member in pursuing their interest in the legal field, it also provides a community of like minded individuals that share a common passion. Our fraternity provides you with a group of brothers and sisters that will end up creating some of the best memories you will take away from your time at Cal.
Academic help
Kappa Alpha Pi members understand the importance of academic success here at Cal and are therefore great support. Kappa Alpha Pi provide you with a group of people with experiences in a wide range of majors and an immediate study group. Members are also given access to discounted test prep courses.
