Applications Available for ICLEO Program That Assists Future Law Students

Last updated on Wednesday, December 6, 2017

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Applications are available for the Indiana Conference for Legal Education Opportunity (ICLEO) program. The ICLEO program is designed to assist traditionally underrepresented groups in pursuing a legal career. The Supreme Court established ICLEO 20 years ago to help bring diversity to the legal profession.

Applications are available online at courts.in.gov/cleo and are due by March 1, 2018.

ICLEO offers students a preparatory institute the summer before law school. This year, the institute is being hosted at Notre Dame Law School. The Summer Institute curriculum places a strong emphasis on academic rigor and provides professional development programming, field visits, and social events. Students who successfully complete the Summer Institute may be eligible for a scholarship for up to three years. The scholarship is currently $4,500 per semester.

To be eligible, applicants must be college graduates by the time the six-week ICLEO Summer Institute begins in June 2018. All applicants go through a rigorous application process that is separate from the Indiana law school application process.

Those interested in receiving updates about the Indiana CLEO program can subscribe at courts.in.gov/3681.htm.
