No Cost Summer Pre-Law Program at the Univ. of Buffalo; Deadline to Apply, March 30

 

May 30, 2021 - June 25, 2021

A Bridge to Law School How can we make the legal profession look more like America? That question has been a vexing one for all of us who care about equal justice under the law. One solution: Invite more talented people of color to consider legal education and a legal career – and support them to make that dream a reality. At the University at Buffalo School of Law, Discover Law is doing just that. This award-winning intensive summer program, now in its eighth year, has given dozens of bright young scholars a taste of law school life and opened their imaginations to careers in the law. For these promising future lawyers, the experience is already paying off. Learn more about the program HERE.

"Thanks to Discover Law, I, and other members of my cohort, feel more prepared for law school than we were before. Personally, I know the program has strengthened my networking, critical thinking, reading, writing, and speaking skills." – Jeremie Gashindi, 2018 Hodgson Russ Discover Law Scholar
