Law school is an investment in your future. In order to get the most out of that investment you really need to excel during the first year. A student's 1L grades can earn not only academic honors like law review, but they largely determine whether the most selective legal employers will invite a candidate to interview for a Summer Associate position after the second year. When Littler Mendelson began investigating ways we could help diverse students prepare for the rigors of law school, we spoke to some of our lawyers who attended pre-law programs and reflected fondly on that experience. Proper preparation before law school can have a dramatic impact on a person's academic and professional opportunities and we are thrilled to be in a position to help make a difference in the lives of entering law students by underwriting the cost of their Law Preview tuition. If you are attending a law school we support, and meet the scholarship criteria, I strongly encourage you to submit an application.
