1Ls and 2Ls: Apply to be a Fall ASP Leader

The Academic Success Program is pleased to open its application for fall 2026 doctrinal course (i.e., Contracts, Criminal Law, and Torts) ASP leaders. ASP leaders assist 1Ls with a variety of academic-related matters, including developing effective study habits, reviewing key course material, and preparing for examinations. The following qualities will guide the selection of ASP leaders:

• the desire, care, and creativity to assist students in developing effective learning strategies and in welcoming them to our community;
• the ability to communicate effectively with students and faculty members;
• the analytic skills essential to success as a law student; and
• the professionalism to fulfill a commitment that spans the majority of a semester, regardless of other existing or potential demands.

ASP leaders perform their work in exchange for two academic credits. ASP leaders are required to attend a training session before the start of the fall semester; hold weekly sessions with a partner; and observe every meeting of their professor’s course until the last two weeks of the regular semester. Applicants must have completed the 1L curriculum before this coming fall and must have received an honors grade in a course to serve as its ASP leader. 

Please click on this link to apply to serve as an ASP leader for next fall. (Students who have served as a fall doctrinal course ASP leader in the past need not apply; Dean Fodor will contact former ASP leaders about the fall 2026 semester.) As part of your application, please be prepared to submit a résumé and a cover letter explaining your interest in serving in the position. Please address your cover letter to the ASP Selection Committee. Applications must be submitted no later than 12 p.m. on Monday, February 23. Applicants who receive an interview will be contacted after the application deadline.
