DEADLINE APRIL 28, 2014
The Max Berger Pre-law Fellows Program is an intensive law school preparatory program geared towards assisting and propelling high potential Baruch College students to gain admission to the nation’s top law schools. Max Berger Pre-law Fellows are chosen from Baruch College freshmen, sophomores and juniors who demonstrate a high level of academic promise and desire to pursue a career in the legal profession.
Critical components of the program
• Active engagement in the exploration of law school and the legal field-including visits to the New York Courts, law schools and law firms and participation in various law related panels
• Guidance in creating a competitive candidate profile for successful law school admission – including individualized pre-law advising and student-attorney mentor matching
• Cultivation and refinement of academic and professional skills that will lead to continued undergraduate and graduate school success-including intensive writing, time management, negotiation, mock trial, effective note taking, study skills and Lexis/Nexis research workshops
