The UTSA Institute for Law and Public Affairs is currently receiving applications for admission to the UTSA Summer Law School Preparation Academy (SLSPA) program, and we would like to let your students know about it. The SLSPA encompasses 12 credit hours of coursework specifically designed to hone the reading and writing skills students need to successfully gain admission to and excel in law school. Students who successfully complete the SLSPA receive the UTSA Certificate in Legal Reasoning. The Academy incorporates two phases, with students taking 2 3-credit courses in each. This curriculum is designed to prepare students for law school and the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) by emphasizing analytical thinking, critical reading, and quality writing skills. Students apply for Phase I as sophomores and attend the Academy during the summer between their sophomore and junior years. Students enroll in Phase II during the summer after their junior year and before their senior year. Phase I starts June 2, and Phase II July 10. Deadline to apply for early admissions is March 15, and for regular admissions is April 15. In case you know of students interested in going to law school, please, refer them to us. We provide prelaw advice and can help them to be better prepared for law school and the application process.
