NYLS works directly with undergraduate partner institutions to identify candidates, and the inaugural class included approximately 25 students. Please pass along this information to your students.

    This program runs for four weeks the summer before students’ junior year and four weeks the summer before students’ senior year. As part of the program, NYLS checks in with participating students throughout their junior and senior years and provides them with law school-related resources.

    This year’s program will start on June 5, 2023 and end on June 29, 2023.
