Our organization’s purpose is to connect economically disadvantaged law school applicants to the support they need to achieve their goals. The legal field offers career paths for social mobility. Studies show that attorneys and other legal workers maintain a higher financial standing than their parents, more so than most other careers. The growth opportunity in law is great, but so are its challenges.

LSAT test preparation books can cost a week’s worth of groceries. Some companies price LSAT courses at two months of rent. Application advisers command amounts worth several car payments. Economically disadvantaged students must make these tradeoffs before applying to a single school to even be considered for prestigious outcomes in this competitive process. All the while, the time they spend to become the best applicant they can be takes away from essentials like work, caregiving, and other crucial opportunities. The cost burden puts qualified low-income students at a disadvantage in the application process, depriving the legal field of new talent and perspective.

We believe that access to a legal education should be determined by one’s potential, not hindered by their financial status. Our organization aims to reverse this trend, expanding law school access to students from diverse backgrounds by providing them the tools to even the field. We seek to spread economic opportunity and improve the practice of law itself by lifting the restraints on students’ abilities, offering underprivileged students the opportunity to thrive in law school admissions.

We support each Fellow in three ways: scholarships, mentorship, and resources.
