The Justice Michael L. Douglas PreLaw Fellowship offers undergraduate students one week of simulated law school classes in substantive areas of law, legal writing and legal analysis, and LSAT preparation. Fellows gain insight on best practices for applying and succeeding in law school. This in-residence fellowship supports first-generation and under-resourced students interested in law school by providing information and resources on the admission process so they are best prepared for and succeed in law school.
