NY Leo Program

Post date: Jan 09, 2019 6:55:29 PM

NY LEO is an intensive six-week law school preparation program scheduled to  take place from June 3, 2019 through July 12, 2019, at the New York State Judicial Institute, the court system’s judicial education and training center, located on the campus of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, in White Plains, New York. The program is designed to provide a solid foundation for success in law school by strengthening the analytical, writing and study skills of prospective law students. Classes are taught by tenured or tenure-track faculty from New York State law schools.  Each NY LEO Fellow is paired with a Judge or attorney who mentors the student throughout the first year of law school.

To be eligible to participate in NY LEO, an applicant is required: 1) to be a minority, economically disadvantaged or educationally disadvantaged resident of New York; 2) to be a college graduate by June 2019; and 3) to have been accepted or have an application pending at a New York law school for Fall 2019 enrollment.
