Are you interested in law school? The AccessLex Institute is sponsoring a research study on what causes students to go to law school. We’re recruiting approximately 40 undergraduate students at MSU Denver for a long-term study about a new pre-law pathway program.
Colorado Pre-Law Pathway Partnership
The Colorado Pre-Law Pathway Partnership (CPPP) is a research partnership between the University of Colorado School of Law, the Institute for Public Service, and the MSU Denver Department of Political Science Pre-Law Advising Program. The purpose of this study is to learn more about what causes undergraduate students to go to law school. This study uses a treatment-control methodology to examine social and socio-emotional factors that might affect whether undergraduate students choose law school after graduation.
For select students, the CPPP provides no-cost application support (LSAT registration, LSAT prep course) and monetary stipends, as well as mentoring by law students and a summer experience at CU Law School in Boulder. This summer experience involves six credits of summer coursework at CU Law School (paid for by the study) and an 80-hour summer research experience.
You may learn more about this study by attending an information session or asking a question (please see the links below). Information sessions will be held remotely on the following dates:
