Sidley Pre-law Scholars Initiative
A lack of resources to attend costly LSAT preparation classes and to fund expensive law school applications is a significant factor in hindering the application to law school by many diverse students. The Sidley Pre-law Scholars Initiative is designed to help address this threshold issue by meeting the specific needs of racially diverse students seeking to attend law school. Sidley Pre-law Scholars, chosen from college juniors and seniors who demonstrate academic promise and financial need, will receive financial support to cover both tuition in a commercial LSAT preparation course, as well as application fees for as many as seven accredited law schools (up to $2,500 total). Over thirty colleges and universities are slated to participate in the 2008 program nationwide.
“Sidley has a significant commitment to achieving greater ethnic and racial diversity within the legal profession and the firm. We wanted to develop a program that would widen the pipeline by helping to eliminate barriers at an earlier stage in a student’s career,” said Thomas A. Cole, chairman of the firm’s Executive Committee. “Our Diversity Committee and staff are to be congratulated for developing this creative approach.”
