About the Fellowship

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 into best practices for applying to 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 about the admissions process, so they are better prepared for and can thrive in law school.
