The Law School Preparatory Program (LSPP) is an online summer institute designed for students interested in attending law school. We focus on two areas of interest.
First, preparing you for the educational environment of law school. Far too many students arrive for their 1L year, only to quickly find themselves buried under an avalanche of unfamiliar concepts and techniques. The LSPP will introduce you to reading cases, tools of legal reasoning, and techniques of legal writing. You will learn how to read critically, brief cases, use the IRAC/CREAC structure for writing, and more.
Second, the application process. Law school applications are superficially similar to other applications students may be familiar with, but are also full of pitfalls. This program will help walk through the process of applying--both what to include on your application as well as what you should be doing right now in order to create the best possible application when the time comes.
