About the Program: “Applicants who are not regularly admitted to the School of Law may be invited to participate in the Law Screening Program. The Law Screening Program consists of two courses. Agency and Personal Property, offered in a six-week period (five weeks of lecture and a final examination during the last week, which is graded anonymously). Of those participants who earn a grade of 75.0 or better in each of the two courses, the top ten participants will be admitted to the fall class. The rest of the applicants who earn a grade of 75.0 or better in each of the two courses will be placed on a rank-ordered waiting list and will be admitted on a space-available basis.

Participants who do not receive at least a 70.0 in each of the courses offered are ineligible to reapply to the School of Law. Participants who receive at least a 70.0 in both courses may reapply to the School of Law but are ineligible to retake the Summer Screening Program and are considered for regular admission only. The application will be considered, with all other applications in that year, and the applicants in that year, and the applicant’s performance in the Program will be considered.”
