2015 Summer Pipeline to Justice Program
The CUNY School of Law Pipeline to Justice Program is thrilled to announce our second
annual Pipeline to Justice Undergraduate Summer Program. From June 15th to June
25th, students from various CUNY campuses will take part in a dynamic initiative at the
CUNY School of Law designed to introduce prospective advocates to legal education
and the world of public interest lawyering.
Program Overview
Eligibility
Developed by the award winning Pipeline to Justice Program, this free two-week session will consist of daily seminars focused on different aspects
of the legal field including, but not limited to:
analytical writing, oral advocacy, community
building and professional skill building. Consistent with CUNY Law’s mission to expand access
to justice and educate lawyers in the service of
