About Program

At the Lex Fellowship, pre-law students rotate to a new law firm each day, where they can expect to gain a deeper understanding of day-to-day life in the legal field. This is done by completing case studies and meeting with firms and attorneys throughout the host cities. In addition, they develop a deep appreciation for the rich cultures our site locations have to offer.

Here at Lex, we know that law school is a significant investment of time and financial resources. By attending a program with Lex, you can start to determine if law school is right for you. For seven years, we have been the best opportunity for real-world legal instruction to interested pre-law students. Our programs are designed for students that are ready to take their law school applications to the next level. What better way to gain hands-on experience with diverse cases, fields, and lawyers than in the fast-paced and beautiful cities of Rome or Genoa!

One of a kind experience

I was hesitant to do Lex Fellowship, but am so glad I did. I created lasting bonds with the people in my group. I learned more than I could have ever imagined about Italian law and history. I saw the most amazing sights through our weekly group excursions as well as just through walking around the city to the law firms and to eat. I was truly immersed in Rome's culture. The city managers helped us navigate this foreign country with ease. My suite mates and I even became friends with the local coffee and gelato shop workers. Such a unique trip!

Pros
  • Excursions
  • Ancient history
  • Italian Law Firms
Cons
  • Public transportation
  • Language barrier
  • The heat

Door Opener

This program was super helpful for me for finalizing my decision to pursue a career in law. The firsthand experience inside a large number and diverse specialization of firms was great for helping me in a direction. The people and support was amazing and through this program I managed to get an internship with one of the firms that we visited for the rest of summer that I wouldn't have gotten without Lex. There were a couple hiccups in the beginning of the trip on the programs end, but they quickly fixed the situation and made our experience 10x better than it would have been. If you are even thinking about it in the slightest, go!!!

Pros
  • Legal Training
  • Amazing City
  • Job Opportunities
Cons
  • With your group 24/7, even the bad people
  • Tired

Excellence, Overall

I absolutely loved this program. I was able to experience the Italian culture, work on various case studies, and visit Parliament. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a legal career. This program allows you the opportunity to experience different type of law and to travel abroad. The supplemental curriculum and case work with a current law student is great exposure as well. The cultural excursions organized by the program were fun and the food was local and delicious.

Pros
  • Resume builder
  • Study abroad opportunity
  • Legal immersion experience
