    CLEO Connection is Hosted by our Partner-In-Law Goulston & Storrs. Click to learn more about them!

    Students in the D.C. Metro and surrounding areas are invited to attend these workshops in person (dinner provided!) All details (location, parking, etc.) will be sent after signup.

    The CLEO CONNECTION will help students make “real connections” on the road to law school.

    Let CLEO Connection answer all your law school questions and better prepare you for YOUR law school journey.

    Our goal for CLEO Connection is to engage under-represented pre-law students in lively, in person discussion with peers, law school faculty, and attorneys in order to enhance the student’s social perspective on the admissions process and law school success.

    The program provides a person-to-person environment where under-represented students can find answers to important questions about law school, create a local network of colleagues and legal professional guides, and develop their understanding of the legal field culture.

    October – “Mock Law Class”

    Come and get a taste of what a “day in the life” of a law student is like. CLEO Connection’s Mock Law Class is a simulated law school class for pre-law students who are interested in experiencing what an actual law school class and curriculum is like and how it differs from an undergraduate learning experience.

    The CLEO Connection Mock Law Class is led by an actual law school professor. You will learn about the different types of law classes that are offered, the grading system, the expectations of law professors, and much more.

    November – “Financial Awareness” – We have to be honest…coming to this session makes a whole lot of “cents!” (And will potentially save you some dollars as well…) Come get tips from a financial aid expert regarding getting your “financial house” in order before embarking upon the law school journey.

    December – “Law School Admissions Panel” – Attendees will hear from actual law school deans of admission about the rigorous selection process, components of a “top-notch” application, how to choose the school that’s right for you and more!

    January – “LSAT Strategies” – Newsflash: “With proper preparation, you too, can do well on the LSAT!” Come receive instruction from an industry expert who will be on hand to provide you with winning strategies and techniques.

    February – “Law Student Panel” – Come get the “inside scoop” on what law school is really like and, more importantly, what it takes to be successful from those who are currently “walking the walk:” actual law students

    March – “Attorney Panel” – There’s no better way to learn about what it takes to succeed as a lawyer than to hear it directly from the mouths of practicing attorneys. If you’re interested in interacting with experienced, proven practitioners of the law representing various sectors, then, attend this session!
