UTEP's Law School Preparation Institute (LSPI) College Summer Program is celebrating 25 years. The program helps prospective law students develop critical thinking skills and study habits and guides students through the law school application process. Louie Saenz sat down to talk with co-founder Dr. William Weaver and Assistant Director and instructor Brent McCune on Focus on Campus.

They talked about how the program introduces students to legal thought, research, and writing. The program gives students the opportunity to speak with law school students and faculty as well as prominent members of the legal community. The staff helps students through the process of preparing for law school and the LSAT.

Take a look at the Law School Preparation Institute (LSPI) classes over the years starting with 2022 up to 1998.
