Summer Candidacy Update

Hello everyone – just a quick note now that our program has gotten underway:

TO ALL PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES – PLEASE READ THE PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE CONTACTING ANY OF THE LAW REVIEW STAFF WITH QUESTIONS.  I’ve been getting a lot of questions that 1) shouldn’t even be directed to me because of the anonymity barrier that we set up during the program and 2) would be easily answered by merely reading the program instructions.  The program instructions are the governing rules for the program and should have all the information you need.

Also note that we have a hard GPA cutoff for eligibility.  Now that the program is started we are no longer accepting individual petitions for a variance in our requirements.

And finally, all entries need to be completely your own personal effort, from start to finish – not only are you not allowed to consult with any others (students and non-students) during the writing process, you are not allowed to consult with any others in discussing the topic.

If you have any questions about the program between now and the first week of August, please contact the staff members listed in the Program Instructions.  And, don’t forget the Program Materials are linked in the post below this one.
