Lapa Student Forum: Undergraduate Associates Program

A new program in the 2007-2008 school year, the LAPA Undergraduate Associates Program builds on the existing LAPA Student Forum but includes new opportunities to interact with leaders in the fields of law and public affairs, work closely with LAPA fellows and faculty associates, and develop and participate in a wide range of law-related activities.

The undergraduate forum is currently comprised of roughly 70 Undergraduate Associates with broad interests in constitutional law, international law, comparative law and corporate law, among other topics. The LAPA Student Forum organizes opportunities for these law-engaged undergraduates to interact with leaders in the fields of law and public affairs and develop and participate in a wide range of law-related activities.

Applications to the program are due in October of each academic year. For more information, please contact Philip Levitz '08 (plevitz@princeton.edu) or Pauline Yeung '08 (pyeung@princeton.edu), LAPA Undergraduate Forum co-chairs.

The LAPA Undergraduate Listserv

LAPA maintains a listserv for law-engaged undergraduates in order to pass on information about law-related speakers on campus, prizes, events, and opportunities related to law. If you would like to be included in the listserv, please send an email to our Office Coordinator.

Liman Fellowship

Undergraduate and graduate students alike are encouraged to apply for an Arthur Liman Public Interest Law Summer Fellowship. The fellowship provides a stipend to support summer internships in non-profit organizations that devote themselves to public interest law projects. Typically, two graduate students and four undergraduate students at Princeton are selected for the award. For further information, visit LAPA's Liman Fellowship page.
