2024 LSAC Plus Summer Programs
We are grateful for the partnership and support of our host law schools who help make the LSAC Plus Summer programs possible. Applications for the 2024 Plus Summer programs are open.
Boston University School of Law
BU Summer Pre-Law Academy, designed for students one year away from applying to law school, is focused on countering structural and environmental forces that unevenly tax underrepresented students. The program will expose students to legal cases, advocacy, and Critical Race Theory. Students will experience the Socratic classroom, read and brief cases, work in collaborative groups to represent a “client,” and make persuasive arguments. Students will also learn about the law school admission process and will be mentored while working on a personal statement, a diversity statement, and a résumé.
Applications are due March 20, 2024.

Seattle University School of Law
The LSAC Plus Summer program at Washington Law Schools is designed for diverse and first-generation rising sophomores and juniors at Heritage University in Central Washington and the surrounding area. This collaborative program aims to foster a strong sense of professional and personal belonging, community support, and purpose that will inspire participants to leave the Central Washington region to attend law school, then hopefully return to the area to practice law once they graduate.
Applications are due April 30, 2024.
Applications to participate in the Plus Summer program are open now.
