NLSIU Summer School: Foundations for a Legal Education Certificate Course (FLE)

Admissions deadline: May 02, 2023 (5 PM)

Overview

NLSIU’s Foundations for a Legal Education (FLE) can set students on the path to acquiring the skills and intellectual abilities one need to make this journey easy and effective. Over four rigorous weeks, the FLE Course will introduce to:

• Read critically and analyze complex materials;
• Learn to contextualize, connect, and merge the quantitative and qualitative information;
• Write persuasively;
• Argue effectively; and
• Think like a lawyer!

The study of law demands specific skill sets that young persons may not have access to, or training in. Additionally, aside from those who study at schools that offer pre-law a course in ‘Legal Studies’, young persons may not have guidance on what studying law requires.

If you’re in the tenth standard or above at high school, and are curious about studying law, this course, from NIRF-ranked #1 Law School is for you! The FLE will help you develop life-long skills that will:

• Boost your ability to succeed at law school;
• Enhance your comprehension, articulation, and reasoning abilities; and
• Springboard your journey into the world of academia and the profession.
