The Summer Advocates Academy
June 25, 26, 27, and 28, 2013

The Summer Advocates Academy

 

The Summer Advocates Academy is a unique, four-day pre-professional workshop that focuses on law school preparation and careers for women in the law.

As an advocate, you will receive instruction from Carlow faculty and members of the Pennsylvania Bar, as well as mentoring from recent alumnae and community leaders in fields of government, law, media, and politics.

The workshop is open to rising high school juniors and seniors and female college students.

Participate in either a:

  • PRE-COLLEGE TRACK (for high school students):
    • Draw your map to college. Prep for the SAT. Write your college application essays. Strengthen critical reading, analytical, speaking, and writing skills through a focus on the law.
  • PRE-PROFESSIONAL TRACK (for college students):
    • Chart your path to law school or a career in law. Write a resume and personal statement. Construct a writing sample focusing on a legal issue.

Special sessions to be held at downtown law firms, Allegheny County Bar Association, University of Pittsburgh, and Duquesne University Schools of Law.
