Pre-Professional Law Program
In this program, students who are interested in pursuing a career in law will be chosen to rotate among corporate law firms, public interest law service providers, state trial courts, and state legal agencies for the six week period, allowing students to observe and be exposed to various types of law including, but not limited to, business (transactional), labor/employment, general litigation, domestic relations, government/ public sector, criminal, and general practice. Every two weeks, the students will come together to discuss their experiences in the various rotation locations and any pre-conceived expectations they had prior to the pilot program. Along with the group discussion, students will also have the opportunity to talk with a guest speaker in the legal field who will be able to offer insight on any concerns or questions that they might have. At the end of the program, students are expected to complete a final project that would summarize their overall summer experiences and outcome for the program.
Program Goals:
- To introduce minority students and/or students with disabilities to various legal practice areas
