Law School 101 

Law school is extremely challenging and incredibly rewarding.  To reduce the stress of starting law school and to help make it more rewarding, we offer a summer program to help prepare new students for the first semester.  

Subjects covered in the class include

Foundations of the U.S. Legal System, including court structure, roles of attorneys and the basics of civil procedure.

Foundations of the Law, including the interrelationship among first year law courses.

Academic Skills for Law School, including case briefing, how to approach a law school essays and multiple choice questions, how to prepare for class and the integration of class preparation and in-class work.

Students will automatically be enrolled in an online course in Canvas in July.  The course will consist of on-demand presentations by faculty and synchronous online discussions lead by Professor Finkelstein.

Online live class discussions will take place from 6:00pm to 8:00pm
