LEAP - Touro Law Center - Touro College

“L.E.A.P. is a great
program that helped me
understand and develop the
mindset and the reading
and writing skills that I
needed to succeed in law
school. The summer
program was instrumental
in my success at law school,
and had I not attended
that program I would not
have known how to brief a
case or write a law school
exam. Moreover, the
friends that I made during
L.E.A.P. are friends I still
spend time with.”

“L.E.A.P. helped me a
great deal going into my
first semester of law school.
I learned in L.E.A.P. that
the trick to being successful
in law school is doing the
work. There aren't any
short cuts. Our TAs gave
us great study techniques. I
learned the discipline and
sacrifice that's required.
This was vital because I
was able to start the
semester off on the right
foot.”
