Eligibility

TRIALS supports students of modest means whose backgrounds are underrepresented in America’s top-rated law schools and in the legal profession. We welcome applications from all motivated students of any background whose personal circumstances, self-identifications, and unique perspectives might place them outside the mainstream of typical law school applicants.

International students are not eligible for TRIALS unless they are studying or have studied full-time at a college or university in the U.S.

We will give particular consideration to those candidates who attend colleges that traditionally send no more than one graduate per year to the partnering law schools. Each summer, the majority of students enrolled in TRIALS will hail from such underrepresented institutions.

We take into account all aspects of a candidate’s application, and we encourage all eligible students who are interested in attending law school to apply to TRIALS.
