The Donald J. Weidner Summer for Undergraduates Program, sponsored by Florida State University College of Law, gives undergraduate students an “inside look” at law school and the legal profession and helps you decide whether law is a wise choice for your professional careers. The next program will take place May 15-June 8, 2017, and they anticipate convening a class of 60 students from throughout the country.
Program participants take daily classes taught by law professors, attend academic and professional development workshops, and take field trips to area courts and law firms during the four weeks. There is no fee to apply or program expenses, except transportation to and from Tallahassee (for which FSU provides a $500 stipend at the end of the program). For more information, check-out their website, where you will find out how to apply, frequently asked questions, and a program video. Their online application allows you to submit all of your supplemental documents electronically (including letters of recommendation).
