I know there was a topic about CLEO somewhere, but I can't find it.  Can anyone tell me what CLEO is and its benefits.  Thanks

http://www.cleoscholars.com/ let me help you here a little. you can get all the info you need by going to this site. welcome to BLSD. so, tell us something about you. are you in undergrad? where do you want to go to law school? have you taken the lsat?

Thanks for the site.
Well, I'm from the South (Mississippi), looking to attend a law school somewhere in the south next fall, currently attending undergrad PWI in my state, and I was recommended to this site from a friend.  I usually lurk these boards way more than I post.  I'm taking the LSATs in October.

I heard about CLEO before, but people in the program never went into details about what it is or what it does.

Cool...what LS are you looking to attend? We have a lot of southern folk on the board. I'm from alabama myself.

I was thinking somewhere in Georgia like Emory, or Florida.  Howard is on my mind too.  And of course, I was thinking about Ole Miss since I'm in state.

I'll be attending the CLEO weekend program in LA this coming weekend.  I'll post how it goes when I get back.

I didn't take part in the CLEO 6 week summer institute but I did attend their Attitude Is Essential Program in ATL a few weeks ago. It was pretty intensive with workshops the entire weekend, but I thought it was, for the most part, very beneficial. The had a couple of mock classes hosted by law professors and some workshops on financial aid, study abroad, legal reasoning and writing. I don't think that there was any negative about going. They pay for everything (hotel and food) and then gave us a $350 stipend to pay for travel and any other expenses.
