About Us:
Northwestern Mock Trial is an elite mock trial program, currently ranked as a top-25 program nationally by the American Mock Trial Association. Its history of success spans several decades, many trips to the AMTA national championship, and a long line of alumni who have found success both in law and elsewhere. NUMT is also currently paired with Blueprint LSAT prep and is committed to providing affordable LSAT tutoring to all Northwestern students.
Our Project:
NUMT first began bringing Blueprint LSAT prep to Northwestern’s Chicago campus in fall of 2015. We noticed that although the company offered outstanding and invaluable preparation for the LSAT, many students simply could not afford the tutorials, and some could not manage the trip to Chicago.
Faced with this issue, we spoke with a Blueprint representative and decided that a bi-weekly or monthly workshop along with homework hours would best suit students’ needs. During this time NUMT would also hold a space in which students studying for the LSAT on their own could come and work with a professional instructor on problems they were finding especially difficult. However, it is still very expensive to pay for a Blueprint instructor, so the program is looking for new ways to offer this exceptional test prep to anyone, regardless of financial background.
We want to offer a great space with materials, snacks, and knowledgeable instructors to assist students preparing for the LSAT, but we need your help to make this feasible.
You provide notebooks, highlighters, and pens for students to use while studying.
You provide enough food to keep students productive and on-task for a tough three-hour study session during the week.
You provide an LSAT textbook! Just one book can be used by multiple students to practice new problems.
You provide a qualified instructor for an hour and a half! This time would be used to instruct and answer questions to put students one step closer to attending law school.
