A Harvard Student Agencies program that introduces the field of law to high school students
(Grades 8–12).
A unique pre-professional program, spread over 2 weekends, where students learn how to read and build a case, how to write position papers, how to navigate the path to law school, and more.
The Future Lawyers Problem aims to orient students to the field of law. The program covers due process of law, the many careers in the world of law, the difficult-to-navigate requirements of the application to law school, and much more.
Each day begins with a lecture outlining a skill or concept critical to a career in law, whether it be the inner workings of the court system or how to prepare for the LSAT. From there, students get to build teamwork skills and collaborative thinking by engaging with one another. Guided by qualified Harvard undergraduate instructors, the curriculum aims to provide a comprehensive look at legal systems and give students the chance to meaningfully explore the field. The program enables students to explore law and litigation, gain awareness of history and the current events that contextualize law in society today, and walk away with excitement for their future in law.
