BU Summer Pre-Law Academy (BU-SPLA) is a residential four-week summer program focused on countering structural and environmental forces that unevenly tax students underrepresented students.
BU-SPLA will expose undergraduate students to legal cases and advocacy. Students will experience the Socratic classroom, read and brief cases, work in collaborative groups to represent a “client,” and make persuasive arguments. Students will also learn about the law admissions process and will be mentored while working on a personal statement, an optional/diversity statement, and a resume.
This program received funding from the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). The opinions and conclusions contained in this document are the opinions and conclusions of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the position or policy of LSAC.
