In Spring 2019, FIU Law was awarded a $124,850 grant by the AccessLex Center for Legal Education Excellence and launched a new pre-law initiative, the Path to the Legal Profession (“FIU Law Path”).
The FIU Law Path offers pre-law programming that builds skills critical to both success in law school and throughout the law school application process. It combines exposure to traditional law school experiences with a range of opportunities including academic enrichment and critical skills development, intensive LSAT preparation, personalized counseling on the application process and individualized mentoring by a member of the bench or bar.
Applications for Summer 2025 are now closed.
