Law School Prep Program Announces New Initiative for Adult Learners - Ronald H. Brown Law School Prep Program for College Students

Deadline for Applications Extended to: January 24, 2020
Do you know anyone who has always dreamed of going to law school but never had the support or resources?  Maybe a former student or a paralegal at your firm?  Maybe you? 
 
Thanks to a generous grant from AccessLex Institute, the Ronald H. Brown Law School Prep Program at St. John’s Law proudly announces a new program dedicated to helping adult learners achieve their dreams: the new Weekend LSAT Boot Camp.  This free program aims to serve working professionals, recent college graduates, and college seniors in the New York City area from historically underrepresented groups who want to pursue a career in the law. 
 
Participants will take a comprehensive, customized LSAT prep course and have workshops on the law school admissions process, essays, professionalism, networking, time management, and workplace diversity.  There will also be one-on-one mentoring and professional admissions advising and mental and emotional health counseling.
 
The program takes place at St. John’s Law in Queens (8000 Utopia Parkway, Jamaica, NY 11439).  It begins in late March 2020 and culminates in October 2020 with an event where participants meet one on one with admissions officers from law schools across the country.  
 
See our 2020 brochure for more details!  
 
To date, over 300 Ron Brown Prep Program alumni have attended more than 50 top law schools across the country, including: Harvard; Yale; Boston College; Columbia; Cornell; Fordham; Emory; Georgetown; Howard; NYU; St. John’s; UC Berkeley; UCLA; U of Michigan; and Vanderbilt.  
 
The Weekend 2020 application period is open now!  The deadline for applications has been extended to January 24th, 2020.  The applications and instructions are available at our website.  We invite you or your students to learn more about us by visiting our websiteTwitter and Instagram.
