Diversity Programs

How effective are diversity pathway programs? What techniques best support prospective law students from underrepresented backgrounds? What impact do admission and scholarship policies have on diversity trends? We seek answers to the myriad questions around legal education diversity.

LexScholars is a diversity pathway initiative aimed at learning more about effective methods for increasing law school diversity by providing more than 1,200 aspiring lawyers with resources and guidance to pursue their goal of attending law school.
