The Student Legal Education Opportunity Program (SLEOP), run by the New York City Bar Association, aims to provide professional development and educational programs for inner-city students who are interested in pursuing legal careers. Created in 2006, the Program has worked with more than 80 New York City schools and more than 130 firms and organizations to provide opportunities for high school and college students to develop necessary professional skills and gain exposure to the profession. In addition to various college and career readiness opportunities, the primary components of the Program are: the Thurgood Marshall Summer Law Internship Program, “My Rights, My Nation” Constitutional Rights Symposium, annual Pre–Employment Trainings, a Job Shadow Program, a Mentor Program and an LSAT/ Law School Prep Series.
