COMMENTS ABOUT SHORT-TERM PROGRAMS. We can recommend a worth-while short-term summer program to a serious prelaw student if this student can easily commute to the program. For those not within reasonable commuting distance, the time, inconvenience, and expense of traveling to and from the program combined with the expense of a hotel room along with being forced to eat restaurant food for five, six, or seven days (and, almost as bad, being forced to pay for it) may outweigh the benefits to be gained from the program. If you attend the Law Preview Program, we recommend the six-day program.

2012 CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRELAW PROGRAM LOCATION. New York City. UNIQUE TO THIS PROGRAM. A limited number of selective internship placements at law firms or in the legal department of a corporation, government agency, or nonprofit organization. These unpaid internships are optional, limited in number, not guaranteed, and will be assigned by the Prelaw Program on a first-come, first-served basis. TUITION AND FEE. Housing and meals are not included. You're responsible for finding your own housing; a variety of housing options are available. WHAT DO YOU GET FOR YOUR MONEY?
