Even on my professional resume, I have two non-profit organizations I have done extensive work for. Because they are not well known in the field I work in, I include a brief bullet (~2-3 lines) about what they do and their non-profit status. I think it would be totally appropriate to do that on a law school app resume.abcde12345 wrote:Thank you very much for your advice.

Just make sure that if you don't talk about what the program is at all in your PS (even as just a brief aside, which I think you should do), you have a good description of it on your resume.
If you don't mind, I have a question about integrating a description of the program into my resume. On my resume, I have an account of my relations to the program (what I've done for it, etc.). From what I understand, on business resumes you describe who you've worked for in relation to yourself (i.e., you only describe what you did and not the program/company in general). But is a law school app resume less strict such that it is appropriate to preface my descriptions of my roles with a general statement about the program?
