“The LEAP Program was a motivating factor in my decision to come to Touro. While participating in the LEAP program I learned the necessary tools for success in law school, while surrounded by people that believed in my success. The LEAP program gave me a support team, a relationship with peer-mentors, and a family away from home. The LEAP program has made a tremendous impact on my law school career. Because I know how much of a difference it made in my life, I make sure to give back to the upcoming classes by serving as their LEAP TA or mentor. The LEAP program embodies the same ideals that I was taught while growing up, which is, with hard work I can achieve anything. My participation in LEAP, hard work, and dedication has made it possible for me to fulfill my dreams. After graduation, my dreams will transform into reality when I have the honor of taking on my first case as a criminal defense attorney in New York City.” - Rebecca Gregory Class of 2012 “L.E.A.P. is the law school equivalent of a family. The level of caring and respect that you receive from your fellow L.E.A.P. students is invaluable. No matter how stressful law school becomes, L.E.A.P. provides the tools and skills necessary to overcome the inevitable obstacles.” - Gregory Coleman, Jr. LEAP Program Student Co-Director 2008-2009 Class of 2009 “The L.E.A.P. program was truly instrumentally in the success I experienced in the first semester of law school. I employed the strategies taught by Professor Scherer and the many L.E.A.P. volunteers who dedicated their time and effort to help us succeed, all the way from briefing the cases for orientation to studying for finals. The program also provided an invaluable support system of upper classmen and other first year students who helped to make the first day of class feel like a familiar journey instead of a daunting new beginning.” - Luzan Moore Class of 2014
“When I first received my acceptance to attend Touro Law Center, I was filled with a world of emotions ranging from elation to anxiety. Shortly after receiving my acceptance letter, I received a letter informing me about the LEAP program, which gives minority students exposure to the first year courses prior to the start of school. I reluctantly decided to attend the program and later realized that this was the best decision I have every made. Being a participant in Touro’s LEAP Program allowed me to not only meet new people prior to the start of law school, but also to obtain a foundation for success in law school. By facilitating my acculturation into law school, the LEAP program gave me a much better chance for success as a law student. My decision to participate paved the way for a smooth and successful transition to law school.” - Jesseka Green Class of 2012 “LEAP was the single most influential program that served as my stepping-stones into law school. When I participated in LEAP during the summer before my first year, I was inspired by the success of the upper-level students. The LEAP teaching assistants not only provided me with the academic guidance I needed when entering law school, but with emotional and mental support as well. L.E.A.P. has provided me with an irreplaceable experience in law school thus far and I attribute a significant portion of my success in law school to LEAP!” - Jennifer Ng Class of 2013 “I didn’t leap; I soared into my first semester at Touro Law because of LEAP. The LEAP program was the foundation for my success. The caring LEAP students and faculty ushered me into the daunting law school process. I was taught the fundamentals of being a law student by learning how to: prepare for class, time manage, brief court cases, IRAC, study effectively, and take law school exams. LEAP also introduced me to an exceptional group of students and faculty who now are great friends, mentors, and at times, even lifesavers. LEAP is a unique program with irreplaceable benefits. I could not imagine my life at Touro without it.” - Kristen Berrios Class of 2014
