At the University of Chicago Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, we want students to have access to academic and cultural resources, but to also have opportunities independent of the classroom and student life. Thus, the following is a list of opportunities where students can go to search for funding, enrich their summers or find work after graduation.

Chicago LegalTrek Summer Program

The deadline to submit applications for the Chicago LegalTrek program has been extended to March 12, 2010! The application form is available online..

Chicago LegalTrek ("LegalTrek") is a summer program designed to provide a hands-on, comprehensive overview of the legal profession to diverse college students. LegalTrek’s mission is to diversify the legal profession by encouraging and supporting college students from historically underrepresented groups to attend law school. The program offers practical, fun, and engaging weekly seminars taught by law faculty and practicing lawyers at Northwestern University School of Law. Students will participate in classroom lessons, and participate in a variety of exercises including: a mock jury trial, a simulated client negotiation, a moot court appellate argument, a client interview, and much more. Students will also be assigned an attorney mentor from one of Chicago’s top law firms. Please visit our website to access the application and more details.
