The unique pre-professional program, spread over 9 days (2 weekends), focuses on helping students learn how to read and build a case, how to write position papers, how to navigate the path to law school, and much more. Students will also be guided towards the LSAT, the difficult-to-navigate requirements of the application to Law School, and the many careers in the world of law.
Each day begins with a lecture outlining a skill or concept critical to a career in law, whether it be the inner workings of the court system or how to prepare for the LSAT. From there, students get to build teamwork skills and collaborative thinking by engaging with one another. Guided by qualified Harvard undergraduate instructors, the curriculum aims to provide a comprehensive look at legal systems and give students the chance to meaningfully explore the field. The program enables students to explore law and litigation, experience a mock trial, gain awareness of history and the current events that contextualize law in society today, and walk away with excitement for their future in law.

Here’s what our beneficiaries have to say:
During this program, I learned many skills such as reading and drafting cases as well as learning about the LSAT. Learning about how to read and draft cases gave me insight on what to expect when pursuing a career in law." - Makeya Van, Tanzania
The lectures gave me a lot of knowledge about US court systems and general legal understanding. I can use these skills and knowledge in my future politics or pre-law courses, competitions, other programs I apply to, and even LSAT. If I had to describe the experience in one word, it would be 'Priceless'" - Nubar Jabrayilli, Azerbaijan
