I acknowledge that I have been selected to be a Fellow in the LAW SCHOOL... Yes We Can (LSYWC) program and that significant resources will be expended on my behalf. As a Fellow, I acknowledge and commit to the following:
1. I will be on time and attend in person or via live-streaming, all of the exposure programs, skill-building workshops, and group activities provided for my benefit pursuant to the LSYWC program. If I am unable to attend due to illness, emergency, or other unresolvable conflict, I understand that I have an obligation to contact, as soon as possible, the Program Manager, Judge Arguello, and at least one of my Mentors to inform them of my inability to attend.
2. If I am attending college in Colorado, I will meet in person with my Mentors at least once a month, and I will stay in contact with my Mentors as often as needed, whether by telephone, text, or e-mail. If I am attending college in another state, I will stay in contact with my Mentors by telephone, text, or e-mail on a monthly basis and commit to meet with them when I return to Colorado during the summer or holiday breaks.
3. I will submit the Monthly Fellow Report on a timely basis and no later than the 5th of each month.
4. I will respond within 24 hours to any communications received from my Mentors and anyone else related to LSYWC, including the Program Manager and Judge Arguello.
5. By April 30th of each year I am in the LSYWC program, I will draft and submit at least one 300 - 500 word blog post. I will provide a draft of my blog post to my Mentors for assistance with editing.
6. I understand that I am expected to maintain an average GPA of at least 2.5, and I will update LSYWC of my current GPA each monthly report.
7. LSAT Prep:
A. By the end of my first program year, I will submit to my Mentors and to the LSYWC Program Manager the strategy that I develop for ensuring that, during the summer that I take the LSAT prep course, I will not be taking any classes and my work schedule will be no more than 20 hours per week.
B. I will not study abroad during the LSAT prep.
C. I will enroll in and complete one course on logic/philosophy prior to taking the LSAT prep course.
D. I commit to follow the study instructions provided by the LSAT instructor, attend all LSAT prep sessions and office hours, and return all homework and practice exams in a timely manner.
8. I understand and agree that the LSYWC program, its directors, officers, consultants, and employees are not liable for the actions or inactions of the Mentors who are assigned to me. I release and hold harmless the Program, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims I may have based on the Mentor's actions or inactions.
I understand that, should I fail to meet the above expectations and commitments, the Board of Directors of LSYWC can terminate me as a Fellow in the LAW SCHOOL... Yes We Can program and/or can reduce or take away the LSAT prep scholarship, in its discretion.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Acknowledgment on the date indicated below.
