Matthew Ray, president of the pre-law chapter, said the organization wants to help students get into law school.
"We are a service-based organization. We're dedicated to serving the student, the school, the profession and the community," he said.
Students who become members of the organization will have the chance to speak with the UNM Law School admissions and financial aid directors in February.
