About the Program: “The School of Law sponsors a special educational program for individuals who have suffered the effects of discrimination, chronic financial hardship, and/or other social, educational, or physical disadvantages to such an extent that their undergraduate performance or LSAT score cannot otherwise warrant unconditional acceptance into the entering class.

This conditional program, available at no charge to participants, consists of a course in legal writing and a substantive course taught and graded according to the same qualitative standards applied to all first-year courses. Drawing upon the Vincentian tradition of concern for the disadvantaged, this program enables applicants to demonstrate that they have the ability to succeed in law study. The Institute is limited to 30 students each summer.”
