The Young Scholars Program

Sponsored by the Skadden, Arps Honors Program in Legal Studies

The Young Scholars Program works with high school juniors and seniors interested in exploring careers in the legal field. The program’s mission is to help students prepare for the LSAT (the Law School Admission Test) and advanced academic essay writing. Our workshops are designed to build a specific skill set tailored to the demands of the Skadden Honors Program. Upon completion of the semester-long Young Scholars Program, students will remain with the program for continued academic advisement and application review. The YS Program will remain a valuable resource to students throughout their undergraduate careers.  

Elements of the Program

- Biweekly Lessons

The bi-weekly activity will be the main aspect of the program. We will meet once every other week to concentrate on a particular topic. Each lesson will attempt to develop a crucial skill or communicate valuable information for potential law school applicants. The activities will include lessons, seminars, and panels on the following topics:

• Argumentation theory
• Critical thinking
• Seminar: “What do Lawyers Do?”
• Introduction to the LSAT
• Panel of law school applicants
• Professionalism workshop
• Sample law school lesson

-Mentoring/Tutoring

Our current Skadden scholars will work with students to share their experiences and help them navigate their own paths toward law school.

-Development of Application Materials

The program will work with students to help build their resumes, cover letters and personal statements. Students will leave the program with working drafts of all of these essential application materials.

Eligibility

The program works with high school juniors and seniors interested in legal careers. We also ask that students demonstrate a strong commitment to their coursework, either through an above average GPA or positive recommendations from instructors. We are mainly looking for seniors, but we will work with exceptional juniors as well.

Stop School Violence... SIGN THE PETITION STARTED BY ANTHONY VARGAS, CLASS OF 2015...

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stop-gun-violence

Stop School Violence

The following petition is to raise awareness about the collective worry that New York City students, parents, and families face everyday about the possibility of violence in schools, which seems especially true in light of the horrific Newtown tragedy that happened so close to home.

The method of ending violence is by urging our local and state legislatures to implement the Big Brother Big Sister Program in our schools. This program has been proven to decrease the rate of violence within our schools along with providing a mentoring program for our youth.

We, the undersigned, believe that another tragedy should not happen. We, the undersigned, seek to end all violence in our schools.

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Anthony Vargas

WHEELS Student 

Class of 2015
