The Pre-Law Summer Institute for American Indians and Alaska Natives

Faculty and Teaching Assistants

Nationally prominent professors from law schools across the country instruct in the PLSI. A core faculty is maintained from previous years giving continuity to the program, while one or two new members are invited each year to foster new concepts and approaches. Our goal not only is to have excellent professors, but also to have a representation of the different teaching styles which students will encounter in law school. This allows PLSI participants to be prepared for whatever teaching style is used in their particular law school - from the very formal Socratic method of teaching, to the small section one-on-one style.

In addition to the professors, teaching assistants are hired from the best of the previous year's class to assist students with assignments and help them make the adjustments necessary for law school.
