The five-week residential program will simulate law school, thus requiring a full-time commitment to the program. It will be rigorous and intense. Scholars will be expected to participate in all classes, extracurricular activities and field trips.
The program is designed to develop professional and academic skills regardless of what field or career students end up pursuing. There are many career options within the legal field that don’t require a person to be a practicing attorney. However, if you are interested in law as a field, you should consider applying.
While the program is rigorous, strong time management will allow students to find free time to choose whether to get ahead in assignments or engage in social activities.
The general dress code of the program is business casual. However, there will be events that require more professional or more casual dress. Students will be notified in advance of these occasions.
Homework will be assigned. Additionally, students will have the opportunities to participate on a competition team and complete a service project.
A laptop is helpful and beneficial, yet not required. The law school will provide access to the computer lab.
This is a rigorous program and full attendance from all participants on each day is mandatory. Full participation is expected. If you do not demonstrate an active engagement throughout the five-week program, you may be asked to leave. You must complete all assignments on time, not be late for class and attend all off-campus activities.
