Diversity in Law Starts with Pre-Law Education
According to the American Bar Association, African-Americans and Hispanics have each made up just 5%, and Asian-Americans just 2%, of all practicing attorneys in the U.S. during the past decade,[1] a stark contrast to the general population.
Expanding diversity in the legal profession is not just about the law school application stage, it requires efforts throughout the academic-career pipeline. The PLRC is a pivotal resource for students seeking unique opportunities and looking to maximize their educational opportunities.
