In an attempt to increase participation of historically underrepresented groups in law school, Widener University Delaware Law School will be hosting a two-week pre law immersion program for rising college juniors and seniors called the JURIST Academy. Students will experience the dynamics of a law school classroom, meet lawyers and judges in field trips and on-campus, and have many opportunities to learn about the law school admissions process.
The 2018 Jurist Academy will be held Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. beginning June 4, 2018 and ending on June 14, 2018. The application deadline is May 1, 2018 and this program is limited to approximately 25 participants. If the anticipated funding is secured, participants will receive a small stipend at the end of the program. Tuition, meals and housing are provided for free.
