The University of New Mexico College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) and Gonzaga University School of Law, are co-sponsoring "Law School in a Box," at UNM Saturday, Feb. 28. Students should register no later than Wednesday, Feb. 25 by going to the UNM Arts and Sciences Pre-Law Page at http://prelaw.unm.edu/
This program is designed to provide pre-law students with an introduction to a law school classroom experience, as well as an orientation to the academic and curricular logic of law school.
During the morning, students will attend a first-year class simulation taught by Gonzaga faculty members. Students will be asked to turn in writing assignments, distributed through the A& S Advisement Cetner, and to participate in class discussions about a hypothetical case, based on materials used in one of Gonzaga's first year classes.
After lunch, which will be provided, the afternoon session offers workshops, including a session on financing law school.
"The College of Arts and Sciences is very excited about participating in a pre-law academic program of this nature," said Wanda Martin, associate dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
"This is a rare opportunity for pre-law students to get feedback from law faculty and to experience the law school classroom in a way that approximates as closelyas closely as possible an actual first year class. This program represents the college's commitment to innovative and academically rigorous pre-professional advisement."
