C ourses T he JUDICIARY SUMMER PRE-LAW PROGRAM provides participants with an opportunity to experience first-year law school courses taught by seasoned law school professors. It includes two substantive law school subjects--Legal W riting and Analysis and Property Law -- and culminates with a moot court component (appellate oral argument) in the NMI Supreme Court.

In addition, the program offers a Law School Admission Test (LSAT) preparation workshop and guidance in law school admission applications.

The professors introduced the students to the Socratic Method--question after question about cases were asked in an effort to develop critical thinking.

M entors Each participant ispaired with a mentor who providesguidance during the Program. It is our desire that thementor-menteerelationship continuesduring the law school application process and well after admissions. The Judiciary extends its sincere gratitude to the mentorsfor their valuablecontribution. They arepart of theProgram'ssuccess.
