Summer Courses
There are two types of summer programs available for pre-law students: undergraduate exposure programs, and post-graduate preparatory programs.
- Undergraduate Exposure Programs
"CLEO is a program designed to assist economically and educationally disadvantaged individuals who experience difficulty in gaining admission to law school because of less than "traditionally "acceptable scholastic achievement and/or academic credentials. CLEO provides a six-week, in-residence, summer institute experience that previews and acclimates students to the first-year rigors of law school; assists Fellows in law school placement after successful completion of the program; and, provides a living expenses stipend for three years of law study."
• National Institute on Legal Education (NILE)
"[ Nile ] believe[s] that preparation is the key to success both in law school and the legal profession. NILE is the premier law school preparatory course in the nation. Since 1989, NILE has been preparing students for the challenges and rigors of law school. Thousands of students have relied on NILE to gain a competitive edge and to achieve their personal best."
- Individual School Programs
• Some schools offer preparatory courses for their own incoming students. A few of these are open to students who plan to attend other instutions. You may inquire with individual institutions about their programs and policies.
