Introduction to Law School and the Profession (ILSP)

The Introduction to Law School and the Profession (ILSP) program is a time to welcome and introduce you to our law school and community. This mandatory program will be held on August 20-23, 2008. The program will focus on introducing you to the College of Law and the legal profession to ensure that you have the information and necessary skills to succeed in law school. We will provide you with information on the policies and regulations governing your legal education and the profession, academic information, and offer you many opportunities to get to know other incoming students and your Student Ambassador.

We are excited that you have chosen to attend the University of Florida Levin College of Law. We are looking forward to your arrival and shall do our very best to get you off to an excellent start.
