Do Any Law Schools Have Programs Aimed At Enrolling URMs?

Post by PodPeople » Mon Jun 29, 2015 6:28 pm

Do any law schools have programs aimed at enrolling URMs?

If you know of any, please mention them here. Examples could look like:

1) an admissions office doing targeted recruitment for URMs
2) programs or services within the law school for URMs

This is for an undergrad research paper.

Thanks!

Some schools have extended admitted student weekends with an additional day or additional activities for the URM admits.

Yeah LEOP is actually a pretty impressive program because it is not only geared toward admission, but continues throughout law school as well. Like the LEOP students get special practice test sessions to help with their first exams and things.
