The Law School plans to enroll about five highly credentialed students in this program every year. Students who are selected to participate in the program will have been admitted to the Law School with a significant scholarship and will have had experience in the business or investment field or an interest in earning a JD/MBA. They will also receive:

• A mentor from the program’s advisory council;
• A second-year research assistantship with the school’s business or tax law faculty;
• A third-year clinical position with one of the school’s business-related clinics.

The Law School expects to be able to offer students in the program summer placements and other positions with family offices, law firms, and other organizations with family-office service practices. The school also plans to develop a one-week intensive course during fall break in Chicago focused on family office practice and services.

Students who are selected for the program will benefit from a range of other opportunities, including taking courses at the Kelley School of Business and participating in the school’s Business Law Society, Tax Law Society, and transaction drafting competitions. The school is in the process of naming affiliated faculty to design and teach family office–related courses. An advisory council to advise the school and serve as mentors to students will also be appointed.
