About the Program: “The Pre Admission Program was established soon after the founding of the Law School to address the issues of disadvantaged applicants and to serve legally underserved communities. The program provides selected students who have already overcome adversity with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to perform in Law School.”

Selection Criteria: “There is no separate application process for this program.”

“The Admissions Committee selects Pre-Admission students from among the regular law school applications. Twelve students are invited to participate each year as unclassified graduate students and to demonstrate their ability and potential for the study of law in a specially-designed one-year curriculum. Upon successful completion of the one-year program, students are admitted to the regular law school class the following year.”

Application Fee: $60.00.

Application Deadline: March 1 for the application form and application fee. March 15 for all required accompanying materials.
