Thirty to thirty-five current law students who will be in their second or third year as of fall 2011 are needed to serve as structured study group leaders for the fall 2011 entering students. Study group leaders work 6-8 hours per week throughout the fall semester, except during First Week, when 15+ hours are required. First Week starts and the first study group meeting with assigned students will be on Monday, August 15, 2011 from 3:15-5:00 p.m.

Study group leaders are paid $8.00 per hour. Top-of-the-class grades are not a prerequisite, but a law school GPA of 2.5 or better is needed to apply. You must be able to participate in, and must participate in, the study group leader training program.

The study group leader training program consists of reading a 60-page training manual and participating in two, three-hour training sessions, either in May (Option 1) or in August (Option 2):

Attendance is required at both sessions in either Option 1 or Option 2 to be a study group leader. In addition, Professor Schwartz meets with all study group leaders one hour per week throughout the fall semester so you will need to block out one day a week at noon (lunch provided).
