Trials

Trials (Training and Recruitment Initiative for Admission to Leading Law Schools) is a residential scholarship program that helps talented and motivated undergraduates of modest means earn acceptance to the nation's leading law schools.

It is a unique collaboration of the AT Foundation, Harvard Law School, and NYU School of Law. For five weeks in July and early August, Trials students receive intensive LSAT preparation from Advantage Testing and a broad-based exposure to diverse aspects of the legal profession through lectures from professionals, scholars, and business and government leaders. Students emerge from Trials with a concrete set of goals and a realistic plan for achieving them. Along the way, we trust, they also develop a strong sense of purpose and a commitment to social service.

Trials students have no expenses associated with the program and are awarded a $3000 stipend to supplement their summer income.

As the explicit objective of Trials is to generate opportunities for underrepresented students, a majority of each class will be enrolled from colleges and universities that have no more than one graduate currently attending each partnering law school.
