Mock trial, courthouse visits, and real attorneys in your corner — the LEAP Pre-Law chapter is for students who want to advocate, debate, and defend before they ever sit the LSAT.
Every LEAP chapter runs on the same four pillars — here's what they look like in Pre-Law.
Older members mentor younger students on legal basics and debate.
Hear directly from practicing lawyers about their careers.
Current law students share the honest version of the path.
Practice courtroom skills with case packets and debate legal arguments.
Chapter competitions on constitutional and civics topics.
Interview lawyers for a podcast, or post legal facts and rights info on social media.
Host chapter discussions on laws and legal topics.
Attend public trials and observe the legal system in action.
Teach peers about tenant rights, voter rights, and civics — verified hours.
Run nonpartisan voter registration drives to help peers register.
Research and write to officials, or run legal awareness campaigns.

Chapters are student-run. Founding officers build this from day one, which is exactly the kind of leadership colleges and employers notice.
Owns the vision, runs meetings, and represents the chapter to the school and to LEAP national.
Interviews and welcomes new members, and keeps the roster and member records clean.

Builds relationships with local firms and sponsors that fund events and open internship doors.
Organizes volunteering projects and syncs member hours with LEAP Tutoring.
Recruits professional mentors and matches them with members through the year.
Set by the starter kit's first-semester calendar — every chapter runs the same basic cadence.
Mock trial practice, a case briefing, or a current-events discussion tied to law.
A moot court or mock trial scrimmage, or a guest speaker — a lawyer, judge, or law student.
Mentor pairing, brief-writing practice, and volunteer hours from service work.

Nothing. Every LEAP program is 100% free for students — that's the entire point of the organization.
Plan on one chapter meeting per week or two, plus the events and volunteering you opt into. Founding officers put in more — and get more out of it.
