What is the program?

This program on Florida State Law’s campus has been in existence since 1992 and  nearly 1200 college students have “experienced law behind the scenes.”  This program brings to campus undergraduate students from throughout the country for a month-long immersion into legal study. The largest and oldest of its kind, the primary goal of the program is to acquaint students with the study of law and to assist them in acquiring skills that will benefit their undergraduate and future law school studies.

If selected, you will take daily law classes taught by Florida State law professors, attend academic and professional development workshops, enjoy field trips to area courts and law firms, and network with dozens of legal professionals during the four-week program.
