Chicago-Kent's Pre-Law Undergraduate Scholars program
(PLUS). More than two dozen undergraduate students
interested in careers in law are participating in
a special four-week session. The program, funded by
a grant from the Law School Admission Council to increase
diversity, is geared toward students from underrepresented
groups. Currently enrolled in Big Ten universities,
historically black colleges and universities, Washington
University in St. Louis, St. Mary's University and
New York University, the students are taking courses
adapted from the law school's curriculum. They are
visiting courts and are learning about the law school
admissions process. Near the end of the program the
students will participate in a mock trial and complete
a one-day "internship" in a legal setting.
Michael S. Burns, assistant dean for admissions,
is available for interviews about the program, which
ends June 27.
