University of Virginia Library

Courses Of Study

Courses of study will include
introductory materials for such
areas as constitutional law and legal
process, with some classes
conducted as small seminars. The
overall curriculum is designed to
familiarize the student with the role
of law in society while developing
analytic and verbal skills. Classwork
will be supplemented by a research
and writing program, ending with a
moot court trial. Students will have
frequent individual conferences
with instructors and teaching
assistants to evaluate progress and
problems.

In addition, the institute will
assist students in applying to the
law schools of their choice and
counsel them as to suitable
accredited law schools. It also will
make available a list of students for
interested law schools and contact
schools on behalf of the students.

The institute at the University
will run from June 13 through July
24.
