Stein Scholars Program
The Public Interest Resource Center with the Stein Center, oversees the student driven Stein Scholars Program, an academic and service program in which selected students participate through all three years of law school, and throughout their career.
Deliberately chosen from diverse backgrounds, Stein Scholars community reflects the broad spectrum of culture, education, and experience that is the United States today. This diversity is one of the strengths of the program, enabling students to learn from each other, and to appreciate differing views, as they pursue common goals.
By supporting the students’ interest in public service through these specialized academic requirements, summer externships, interaction with practitioners and academics, and the opportunities to engage in community service, the Stein Scholars Program encourages students to maintain their commitment to, and prepares them for, the practice of law in service to the public.
Stein Council
Stein Scholars annually elects Stein Council as its administrative/governing body. All Stein Scholars are eligible candidates for these leadership positions. Stein Council meets every few weeks or so depending upon need, occasionally inviting student leaders, committees, faculty, or others to attend and discuss issues. Representatives are available to discuss Stein issues at any time and if warranted, to bring your issues to Stein Scholars as a whole, or the Stein Directors, on your behalf.
Stein Scholars has Committees that help to administer and run the Program. Every Stein serves on one Committee or Event for each semester and work is accomplished at the direction of the selected Committee Chair.
Stein Scholars usually produce two to four events per semester, conceived, chosen by popular Stein vote, and produced by Steins, during the Stein time which is every Wednesday 4:30-6pm.
