The Pre Law Institute
The Pre Law Institute was established by President Jeremy Travis in December 2005. Its mission is to “identify, motivate and prepare John Jay students and alumni who are interested in preparing for a career in law”. The Institute is a pro-active program that coordinates all college pre-law initiatives. Advisors engage in one-on-one advising to guide the undergraduate development of pre-law students who are strongly encouraged to begin early preparation for the LSAT and become actively involved in pre-law activities, such as attending the annual LSAC forum, joining the John Jay Law Society and attending College workshops focused on law school application processes. The Institute works closely with faculty and administrators to ensure that students understand the importance of a strong academic foundation.
Students who are thinking about law school are encouraged to contact the Pre Law Institute to set up an appointment.
New Scholarship to Honor Duard Bradshaw, Community Leader and former HNBF President
The HNBF’s new scholarship program will provide another resource for Hispanic students struggling to finance their education. “For many Hispanics, there is a fear of taking out loans and being in debt, even if it’s for an education,” says Magda Herrera, Executive Director of the HNBF. A 2004 study by University of Southern California’s Tomas Rivera Policy institute found that 80% of Latino parents and 74% of college-age Latinos did not cite loans as possible sources of financial aid. According to Ms. Herrera, the low number of Hispanics seeking loans leaves them to rely on scholarships or full-time employment while in school. “Hispanic’s are more likely to work than other undergraduate students, and with only about thirty percent seeking loans and only eleven percent obtaining a Bachelor’s degree, there is a clear need for financial support in the form of scholarships from organizations like the HNBF.”
Because minorities score on average about 6 points lower than Anglo applicants on the LSAT, the HNBF partnered with the Princeton Review to establish a scholarship program that would provide Hispanic students with the opportunity to take an LSAT preparation course. “Many students don’t have the ability to pay thousands of dollars to fully prepare for this high stakes examination,” says Mark Gallegos, Vice President of the Hispanic National Bar Foundation. “We believe that with the opportunity to intensely prepare for this exam, Hispanics students can perform better.”
The HNBF Princeton Review Duard Bradshaw Scholarship’s four winners will receive a Princeton Review LSAT preparation course valued at over $1000. The recipients will enroll in the Accelerated LSAT course in their home town. This course consists of 30 classroom hours, 4 full-length practice tests, and it takes about 4 - 5 weeks to complete.
Students will then take the September, October, or December 2007 LSAT upon completion of the Accelerated LSAT course. More information about Duard Bradshaw and how to apply for the HNBF Duard Bradshaw Memorial Scholarship is available on In addition, to this new resource, www.hnbf.org has also added a scholarship page that allows students to search scholarship list to see what opportunities they are eligible for.

The Center on Terrorism
John Jay College of Criminal Justice lost over 100 alumni and students in the World Trade Center disaster. That loss, and the increased interest in terrorism on the part of concerned citizens, prompted John Jay College to create the Center on Terrorism in early 2002. The goal of the Center is to study terrorism in ways that are familiar and appropriate for a university, while searching for concrete ways of making that knowledge serve useful public purposes.
