A comprehensive program and well worth exploring. How about some law schools outside the US working with them to give these students a much need international perspective ?
The Baltimore Sun reports
First, University of Baltimore officials scout HBCUs for eight undergraduate students in their junior or senior year to attend a two-week “boot camp.” They are selected based on their grades, an application that includes essay questions, and interviews.
The selected scholars stay in a hotel near the UB campus in midtown Baltimore. They attend classes, read cases and complete writing assignments. They meet law students, visit firms and talk with lawyers, judges and elected officials to learn about career tracks and get tips for succeeding in law school.
Next, they enroll in a semester-long LSAT preparation class and are assigned a mentor from the law school faculty. If they maintain a high enough grade point average as an undergraduate and score high enough on the LSAT, they qualify for admission to the University of Baltimore law school and get free tuition, worth about $100,000. They can also opt to seek admission and scholarships to other law schools.
Students not among the eight offered admission to UB have another option under the program: enrolling in an LSAT preparation course, open to up to 72 HBCU undergraduates and alumni. LSAT preparation can cost upwards of $2,000. The program covers all but $100 of the course.
Lower LSAT scores are among the primary reasons African-Americans are under-represented in the legal field, Meyerson said. The mean score for African-Americans was 142 in 2013-2014 compared to 153 for whites that year, according to a report by the Law School Admission Council.
