Deadline for applications to Explore Law is approaching

As March 31 quickly approaches, time is running out for Penn State undergraduate students who want to apply for Penn State Law’s Explore Law program, designed to introduce students to the study of law and the law school learning environment. From learning how to brief a case and analyze a statute to making an argument in court, Explore Law will give participants the tools they need to succeed as a law student.

The program is open to all Penn State undergraduate students from all campuses with a minimum 3.0 GPA, who have completed at least two semesters of study. A goal of the program is to provide an introduction to the study of law, the law school learning environment, and the law school admissions process with time for prospective law students to make adjustments to their undergraduate academic performance.

Sponsored by the Penn State University Dickinson School of Law, this intensive, one-week program is free for Penn State undergraduate students accepted into the program, including housing and meals. This year’s program will be held from May 14-18 in the Lewis Katz Building in University Park.

Applications and information about the program may be found on Penn State Law’s website. If you would like to apply, but need an extension to submit a letter of recommendation or other materials for the application, please email your request before the March 31 deadline to explorelaw@psu.edu.
