The program is open to rising college juniors and seniors. NYLS works directly with undergraduate partner institutions to identify candidates, and the inaugural class included approximately 25 students. As part of the program, NYLS checks in with participating students throughout their junior and senior years and provides them with law school-related resources. The curriculum, which includes four hours of class per day, four days a week, was developed and taught by NYLS’s faculty. It includes these topics:   Is Studying Law for You? Developing Characteristics of the Successful Law Student Developing Law School Thinking Skills: Thinking about meaning Reading for comprehension Putting your thoughts into words with precision Reasoning by syllogism Reasoning by analogy Introduction to Legal Method Written Legal Communication Professional Development Project-Based Capstone Preparing for the LSAT   The Project-Based Capstone represents the culmination of students’ work during each summer session and will engage students in simulated arguments on behalf of a “client.”  It is free to participate in the Summer Pre-Law Program.
