AccessLex Diversity Pathway Program

The BU Summer Pre-Law Academy is focused on countering structural and environmental forces that unevenly tax students of color. To accomplish this end, the program will expose students to scholarship, including Critical Race Theory, produced by academics and activists of color that illuminate the racialized (and often overlooked) dimensions of law and legal education. Students will experience the Socratic classroom, read and brief cases, work in collaborative groups to represent a “client,” and make persuasive arguments. Students will also learn about the law admissions process and will be mentored while working on a personal statement, an optional statement, and a resume.
