“An invaluable introduction to the law school paradigm — which, even more so than the academic content, is likely to be the most difficult portion of law school to anticipate.” —Class of 2015 AEP Student

“If you’re interested in connecting yourself to a cohort of motivated and inspiring peers, while gaining skills you’ll need from Day One to graduation, sign up for the AEP as soon as possible.”—Class of 2015 AEP Student

“Summer Institute and the AEP program gave me helpful advice on classes and finances, academic support, and created a community for me at school. Lewis & Clark law students are lucky to have such a program available to them!”—Class of 2014 AEP Student (and President of the International Law Society)

  “AEP is a truly unique and fantastic program. As someone who had been away from the classroom for a while and not familiar with the study and practice of law, I found that the Program helped me to ease into law school and gave me a solid foundation from which to work and grow. I am confident that my current success as a student is thanks in large part to the support of this Program and those involved in it.”—Class of 2013 AEP Student (and Editor in Chief of the Environmental Law Review)

“Not only does the program allow us to learn critical skills in a lower stress environment, it allows us to meet and interact with our classmates of exceptional backgrounds in an intimate setting.”—Class of 2013 AEP Student

“To be honest, I’m not sure how any 1L could begin law school without going through this program or something similar. The practice sessions in a real class setting were extremely helpful.” —Class of 2012 AEP Student
