My name is Noor Shater, and I’m a student at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. I founded Underrepresented Law in 2024, a cost-free mentorship program connecting Ivy League law students with undergraduates from diverse, first-generation, and low-income backgrounds. We offer comprehensive admissions support to help students navigate the law school application process.
Our mentors come from top law schools like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Penn, Columbia, NYU, and Georgetown. They are dedicated to increasing diversity in the legal field and helping the next generation of students achieve their law school goals. You can learn more about our team of mentors here.
The application portal for our mentorship program is now open to college juniors and seniors seeking law school admissions support. More details about the program and the application process are available here.

Lewis & Llewellyn is dedicated to providing opportunities for high-achieving young adults to explore their interest in the law. In furtherance of this mission, Lewis & Llewellyn created its Annual Fellowship to remove barriers and create opportunities in the legal industry for talented individuals with diverse experiences.
The Fellowship is designed for undergraduate students who want to participate behind the scenes and gain valuable experience at one of California’s premier litigation boutiques. The fellow will be working as a critical member of our team, assisting attorneys and staff with investigating facts, briefing legal issues, analyzing evidence, and much more across a wide variety of substantive legal areas and industries. The program will also offer opportunities to see the life cycle of a litigation, observe hearings and depositions, and receive one-on-one mentorship with our attorneys.
This fellowship is a paid opportunity.
Please send a resume and a short personal statement (250 words maximum) to careers@lewisllewellyn.com if you are interested in applying.
Dear writers,
We are The Harper Review, a review of politics and culture run by University of Chicago students that takes inspiration from magazines like The Point, Lapham’s Quarterly, Hedgehog Review, New Criterion, Compact, The Drift, n+1, First Things, County Highway and classics like The New Yorker, The Atlantic,and Commentary
We are now looking for essays and letters in our Spring 2026 issue.
We’re interested in essays that:
-
Thoughtfully explore cultural and political phenomena.
-
Bring in intellectual interlocutors, but don’t rely on jargon or vogue.
-
Are written for a general audience without talking down or dumbing down.
-
Argue something we may not hear from the talking heads.
-
Connect life on the ground to big ideas and vice versa.
-
Take those that disagree seriously.
-
Are not academic articles—ideas from class papers can inspire our essays, but we are a general-audience magazine, not an academic journal.
-
Are 1,500–2,500 words
We’re also looking for shorter letters (4–5 paragraphs or 400–600 words) responding to the statement, “There’s nothing left to conserve.” Argue in favor, against, or that the statement itself is flawed—we want to hear it all.
Want to get more of a sense of our magazine? Here are a few highlights from the archive: Managing editor Declan Rexer forecasts the Colorado River and Western fantasies. Assistant editor Charlie Phelan muses on David Foster Wallace and modern entertainment. Magazine cofounder and USA Today editor Surya Gowdaargues the new media paradigm manufactures dissent. Letters debate progress, sex, and ivory towers
If any of this sounds like your jam, shoot us a draft or a 500-word pitch and writing sample at harperreview@gmail.com. (Note: given their short length, we do not consider pitches for letters; please send full drafts.) If you are interested in subscribing to our weekly newsletter or reading pieces we’ve published in the past, please visit our website
We will be accepting drafts for our spring issue until March 22. We hope to hear from you!
Sincerely,
The editors of The Harper ReviewApplications are now being accepted for the Peter E. Haas Public Service Leaders Program. Now in its fourteenth year, the program provides scholarships and leadership training for more than 75 undergraduates who demonstrate a commitment to public service through off-campus service activities.
Made possible by the generosity of Mimi Haas and named in honor of her late husband, the Peter E. Haas Public Service Leaders Program seeks to grow a new generation of leaders devoted to serving the public good. Peter Haas was a legendary UC Berkeley alumnus and friend to UC Berkeley who was known for his deep commitment to helping others. This program provides need-based scholarships up to $7,000 for students to complete one-year service projects, making it possible for students from all income backgrounds to commit more time to public service. Students who are selected will participate in a year-long leadership development program through the UC Berkeley Public Service Center.
The final deadline for all students to apply for this program is Sunday, April 5, 2026. Please consider applying, encouraging friends to apply, or spreading the word across campus to students who exhibit a strong commitment to public service and demonstrate financial need.
For additional community service leadership opportunities in the upcoming academic year, please visit the Public Service Center’s website or attend an upcoming info session to learn more.
