2010 Chicago LegalTrek Program

A Great Opportunity for Chicago Scholars Interested in the field of Law!

LegalTrek is a summer program designed to provide a hands-on, comprehensive overview of the legal profession to diverse college students.  LegalTrek's mission is to diversify the legal profession by encouraging and supporting college students from historically underrepresented groups to attend law school. The program offers practical, fun, and engaging weekly seminars taught by law faculty and practicing lawyers at Northwestern University School of Law.  Students will participate in classroom lessons, and participate in a variety of exercises including: a mock jury trial, a simulated client negotiation, a moot court appellate argument, a client interview, and much more. Students will also be assigned an attorney mentor from one of Chicago's top law firms. The video below offers a great preview of what Chicago Legaltrek is all about!
