Professor Michael Santana has an online Law preparatory course that students may find useful.
As I was exploring the website one thing I found particularly interesting was a question he posed to his students in law school on what they would do differently as undergrads:
The one thing that I would’ve done differently prior to law school was to spend more time writing. […]
I would have taken more writing classes and classes focused on reading and absorbing material. Actually, better grammar skills would have helped a lot.

An excellent opportunity program available to assist disadvantaged students in the pursuit of a law degree:
Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye has established the New York Legal Opportunity Program (NY LEO) to help ensure a diverse legal community by promoting academic success for individuals historically under-represented in the legal profession.
THE NY LEO PROGRAM will assist minority, low-income and educationally disadvantaged college graduates in acquiring the fundamental and practical skills necessary to succeed in law school. The program will be available to qualified candidates who plan to attend law school in New York.
Copies of the application are available in both my office (108b Norton Hall) and also Wayne Porterfield’s in 259 Capen Hall.
