About the program

We are offering a free LSAT preparation course for high potential, low-income undergraduate students and recent university grads. The program, which runs from May to August, will prepare students to write a Fall LSAT and to apply to a law school in the upcoming admissions cycle.

Classes are held twice a week in the evening, online. All participants must commit to attend at least 90% of the lectures, and attendance will be checked throughout the program. 

The course is taught by a current UCalgary Law student.

Attending the LSAT Summer Prep course was the turning point for me after not getting the results I wanted from other resources. We thoroughly went through sections from real LSAT tests, and practiced the best way to tackle them. By the end of the course, my most dreaded section became my favourite, and I received the results I was looking for after taking the LSAT once.
