The Skadden, Arps Honors Program in Legal Studies is looking for students who:

1) have GPAs at or over 3.2 and strong writing and critical thinking skills,

2) demonstrate a strong desire to go to law school and

3) exhibit maturity and self-discipline. 

Skadden Scholars are required to make a two-year commitment to the Program, which includes two summers and two winter intersessions. Scholars spend four weeks studying the LSAT during their first summer and also prepare for the LSAT during the fall, winter and spring terms of their junior year. Scholars must take the LSAT exam in October of their second year in the Program whether or not they plan on applying to law school at that time. Scholars are required to take one seminar each term (four in total) and to attend a six-week internship as rising seniors. Students must maintain a high GPA to remain in the Program.
