WEST CHESTER, Pa., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The legal profession is one of the least diverse professions in the United States. With LexScholars by AccessLex®, its innovative diversity pipeline program, AccessLex Institute is aiming to change that.
Launched in 2020, LexScholars will provide more than 1,200 aspiring law students, over five years, with resources and guidance to pursue their goal of attending law school. By design, the program targets students who possess the potential for law school success but may be unlikely to gain admission due to unfavorable LSAT scores and/or undergraduate grades.
