Pre-Law Summer Institute Info
PLSI is an intensive two-month program designed to prepare you for the rigors of law school by replicating the first semester. Often referred to as a “boot camp,” PLSI will challenge you to develop legal analysis and writing skills needed for law school success.
PLSI offers three substantive law courses, including Federal Indian Law, and a legal writing course. By the end of the summer, you will have prepared an appellate case including oral arguments, and completed a cycle of midterms and final exams. You will develop lifelong connections with professors, teaching assistants, speakers, and class colleagues.
There is still time to apply for PLSI 2024! Deadline: March 15, 2024
Don’t wait to apply. It will take time to gather your application materials including your transcripts, LSAT scores, proof of tribal membership, proof of complete application to a law school, and letters of recommendation. The application link has a complete list of required documentation.
Application and Important Dates
Join future Native American lawyers and a network of Native American legal professionals at the oldest and most successful pre-law program for American Indians and Alaska Natives. Program completion also makes you eligible for scholarships, financial assistance, and bar exam support available only to PLSI alumni.
If you have questions regarding PLSI or the AILC, please contact Rodina Cave Parnall at caveparnall@law.unm.edu or AILCinfo@law.unm.edu.

TCJ: “More than an Education: Three Tribal College Graduates Blaze Paths to Law School”
Like TCUs, PLSI is affected by education policy because it too depends on federal funding for a portion of its operating budget. Both TCUs and PLSI have continued to operate for more than 50 years, opening transformative doors for Native students. Felisha Adams, Amber Morningstar Byars, and Mariah Black Bird are on their way to becoming Native American lawyers, and all three have benefited from a tribal college education and PLSI.
