The application for the 2025 KHOP Summer Session is now available, and the deadline to submit it as well as all supporting documents is Friday, May 9, 2025.

The KHOP Summer Session is designed to equip high potential undergraduate students from underrepresented communities with the skills necessary to excel in the law school admissions process, while also introducing students to current law students, lawyers and faculty members at UC Davis School of Law. The no-cost program consists of a series of full-day Saturday presentations and workshops, and a Friday visit to a trial or appellate courtroom, during the summer. 

KHOP Summer Session participants:

  • Attend workshops on pre-law preparation and law school admissions
  • Attend presentations and panels featuring UC Davis law school professors, alumni attorneys and law students
  • Participate in individual pre-law advising with School of Law Admissions Staff to develop law school admission action plans
  • Spend a day visiting a trial or appellate court to observe live court proceedings

The 2025 KHOP Summer Session will take place live and in person at King Hall on June 28, July 12, July 19, and July 26, 2025, and one Friday in July to be determined in June 2025. Please note that KHOP is not a residential program, and neither a stipend nor housing is provided. Most program participants tend to live within driving distance of Davis, California while they are participating in the program. There is no remote option to participate in KHOP.
