Summer for Undergraduates

The 2011 Florida State Law Summer for Undergraduates Program is May 16-June 10, 2011. It is the largest of its kind and has become a model for other law schools nationally.

During the four-week program, students are engaged in activities covering three components:
* Classroom Experience — Daily classes taught by law school professors and writing instructors. Lectures simulate first-year law classes and familiarize students with the functions of the American legal system. Writing workshops help students develop their writing and communication skills.
* Law School Admissions Process — Students are given the opportunity to talk to the admissions staff and committee regarding the important aspects of the law school application process. This includes practical workshops on completing the application, writing personal statements, LSAT preparation, writing resumes and cover letters, financing law school, and individualized career planning.
* Careers in the Law — While the program is academic in nature, there are a number of exciting and enjoyable activities outside of the classroom, such as: visits to the Florida Supreme Court and local law firms, moot court oral arguments, and visits from prominent attorneys in a variety of practice areas.
