Boot Camp

Recognizing that many students starting law school have not had significant exposure to family members or friends who are lawyers or in law school, PDLG presents an annual Boot Camp for entering law students. The four evening PDLG Boot Camp is designed to demystify law school, including by providing a taste of 1L law school courses, guidance on doing law school well and an introduction to many careers open to lawyers.
