Pre-law Listserv
We invite any students who are interested in the legal profession, law school, or pre-law information to add themselves to the Pre-Law Listserv and join the awesome community of pre-law students at DU. You don’t need any prerequisites to be added to this list – just your interest in pre-law!
By identifying yourself as a pre-law student, you’ll receive pre-law announcements, information about law schools and law school prep, occasional notifications for pre-law internship opportunities, and you’ll also gain access to easily schedule pre-law advising appointments through the PCO platform.
Mini Law School
This six-week series in Fall 2024 will feature lectures on the ways in which the 2024 election may impact various areas of the law, including healthcare, immigration, and more. Open to all, this program is designed for non-lawyers, is an excellent lifelong learning opportunity, and is a great chance to get a taste of what law school is like. Participants who view at least four of the six sessions receive a Mini Law School Certificate (no academic credit is received for participation). There are no required readings, tests, or homework assignments – just a great opportunity to learn about the law!
We anticipate that individuals will be able to participate in Mini Law School this fall in three ways: (1) live from approximately 6pm to 7:30pm MT, in Boulder at the University of Colorado Law School’s Wolf Law building; (2) livestreaming the lecture anywhere in the country, on the night of the lecture; or (3) on-demand at any time of your choosing, beginning approximately 2 days after the live lecture. All participants can watch any lectures they miss live by watching a recording at their convenience at a later date.

Law School YES WE CAN
LAW SCHOOL…Yes We Can is the first law school pipeline program of its kind in Colorado – a program that targets high achieving college freshmen from diverse backgrounds and mentors and trains them for four years. It is also unique because it takes mentoring to a new level. In addition to helping prospective legal professionals meet the challenges their predecessors faced, the program helps these students (1) identify the unique challenges they will face in the future; (2) cultivate the skills and relationships they need to mitigate competitive disadvantages that can accompany those challenges; and (3) perform at their peak academic, professional, and leadership levels while they are still in college. Through exposure programs, LAW SCHOOL…Yes We Can will demystify the law school application process and give Fellows access to the legal profession.
