This program is a collaboration between the Department of Latin American and Latina/o Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Ronald H. Brown Law School Prep Program at St. John’s University School of Law. It is designed to help increase underrepresented groups in legal education by providing eligible John Jay students with an intensive summer program in the study of law at St. John’s University School of Law. This two-year program runs through the academic year and over the summer. Through law school courses taught by actual law school faculty, internships with judges and lawyers working in a variety of practice settings during the first summer, and a comprehensive designed LSAT prep course during the second summer, Ronald. H. Brown Prep Program students have an edge in the admissions process. To be eligible for participation, students must have between 45-75 credits with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better.
