For more than two decades, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµâ€™s Plus program has been at the forefront of empowering aspiring law students. For 2024, the program has undergone a transformative redesign, enabling it to reach more students, offer increased support throughout the application journey, and collaborate with a greater number of law schools than ever before.
Every fall, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ publishes an interactive website that serves as a resource for schools, prelaw advisors, students, and many others who are interested in understanding the current admission cycle.
Because of lower birthrates during the Great Recession, the college-age population will shrink beginning in 2025. What does this mean for law schools?
¾«¶«Ó°Òµ has put in place a team of experts that offer a suite of individually tailored services designed to help law schools meet their institutional goals.
The legal employment and law school admission markets are closely intertwined. Fortunately, we have been enjoying a very strong job market for law school graduates for at least five years running, but that may be about to change.
With the 2021 admission cycle, we witnessed the highest applicant volumes we’d seen in a decade, with a marked increase in applicants from minoritized groups, adding up to a historic milestone — the most racially diverse entering law school class in history.
¾«¶«Ó°Òµ LawHub® has come a long way since it launched early last year to provide LSAT prep tools to candidates, but we think there’s even more this platform can do — for candidates, law students, and those who’ve already earned their degrees.
Four distinguished deans shared their thoughts on how candidates can make their applications stand out, where our legal system is headed, and more during a webinar hosted by ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ President and CEO Kellye Testy.
For the 2021-22 forum season, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ is employing a hybrid approach with a mix of online and in-person events. We spoke with Gisele Joachim, executive director of education and ambassador programs, about how this year’s forums have gone so far and what candidates can expect from upcoming events.
There are many ways to make an impact in law, but one we don’t often hear much about is how people become judges and justices. During a recent ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ webinar, I was joined by two women who took unique paths in law and are now breaking barriers as members of the judiciary, along with a third pathbreaker who now works to help law school candidates make their own successful transitions to the legal profession.
