ALABAMA LAW — Through generous support from The University of Alabama System’s McMahon-Pleiad Prize, the Alabama Civil Justice Foundation, and Derrick (’03) and Tamesha Mills, The University of Alabama School of Law will be launching the Alabama Law Summer Scholars Program beginning this year. Summer Scholars is a cost-free, four-week program for undergraduate students who want to learn more about the study and practice of law. The Program is focused on serving students who come from backgrounds that are historically or currently underrepresented within the legal profession.  “We are grateful for the generous grants that allow us to initiate the Summer Scholars Program,” said Dean Mark E. Brandon.  “The program will permit us to support prospective students as they prepare to apply to law school, and it will provide participants an extraordinary experience that shows them not only what law school is like, but also what a life in this noble profession can be.”
