2025 BU Summer Pre-Law Academy

2025 BU Summer Pre-Law Academy

BU Summer Pre-Law Academy (BU-SPLA) is a residential four-week summer program taking place from June 3 to June 27, 2025. BU-SPLA is focused on countering structural and environmental forces that unevenly tax underrepresented students.

To accomplish this, BU-SPLA will expose students to legal cases, advocacy, and application preparation. 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, receive LSAT preparation, and will be mentored while working on a personal statement, an optional statement, and a resume.

There is no cost to apply to or attend the program. Travel to and from Boston, housing during the program, and many meals will be covered. The program will host several social events on campus and outings in Boston. Additionally, all participants who complete the program will receive a $1500 stipend. Participants selected for the program will be notified in early April.

BU Law faculty and staff will come together to teach and support BU-SPLA students and to provide a real glimpse into what it is like to be a law student at BU Law. We can’t wait to welcome you to campus!

The application for 2025 BU SPLA has closed. 

Selected applications will be notified in early April.
